Hi my husband and I have separated but still reside together in the same home and have now split our joint UC account so that my husband can claim housing element in his own right when he finds alternative accomodation but he's recovering from a recent illness and I'm still caring for him. Can I claim carers element of UC and will there be any point/benefit in doing so? We are both severely disabled and he is currently in LCWRA group. Thanks
