Good morning guys and ladies

I have just started to receive LWRC

Can my lad be a carer for me.

LCWRA isn't a qualifying benefit for your son to potentially receive Carers Allowance and/or Carers Element (UC).

You'd need to be getting one of these:

• Personal Independence Payment - daily living component
• Disability Living Allowance - the middle or highest care rate
• Scottish Adult Disability Living Allowance - the middle or highest care rate
• Attendance Allowance
• Pension Age Disability Payment
• Constant Attendance Allowance at or above the normal maximum rate with an Industrial Injuries Disablement Benefit
• Constant Attendance Allowance at the basic (full day) rate with a War Disablement Pension
• Armed Forces Independence Payment
• Child Disability Payment - the middle or highest care rate
• Adult Disability Payment - daily living component at the standard or enhanced rate

Eligibility would also depend on what benefits your son already gets or how much he earns from working.
