I get pip, limited capability to work and work activity, my wife gets carers for looking after me. My wife has been awarded pip. How will this affect my carers element of uc. Please advise

    Hello @welshrugby1. As you receive LCWRA you cannot also receive the carers element of UC.

    If your wife is still able to care for you for 35 hours a week then there is no change to her carers element of PIP either.
