Generally the maximum entitlement for a couple is:
1x LCWRA element
1x Carers Element
Plus Standard Allowance (couple rate) and Housing Element (if applicable).
If you were receiving any Transitional Protection this will reduce by the amount of any new elements since the transfer.
You can estimate your entitlement using a benefits calculator:

Any Carers Allowance will be deducted in full from your UC award.
The value must be greater than or equal to 1.
