After an accident at work, a severe back injury and now a couple of years on UC ADP and LCWRA my ex has advised me he is struggling so badly with Self Worth, Depression and budgeting the little money he has. He was a worker his whole life until a job asked him to lift heavy steel when a machine didn’t arrive and already having arthritis of the spine he damaged his back so badly. Anyway fast forward. He currently received UC for a single person over 25, LCWRA and Adult Disability Payment.
Our son has complex health issues - but not physical. He gets full Child Disability Payment and has done for nearly 8 years. I work full time so no one has ever claimed Carer Allowance for him.
Can dad claim this CA? I think it’s £80 odd per week. His dad has him for 48 hours per week over 3 days.
