I was on my partners old style esa he was on esa work related and I was on jobseekers,we have transitioned to uc and I have been awarded lwcra plus he receives carers for me what will our uc award be now

Kimi87

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.
