Carers Allowance

Hi Debbie
I care for my brother. I recently left my full time job to part time to care for him and then also applied for carers allowance, but now found out that my brothers pension credit has been reduced because he has a carer. When I rang and asked them why this has happened, they said because he was getting server disability premium with his pension credit! I don't want him to loose out on his benefit. Is there anything else I can claim for so my brother does not loose any of his benefit?
Thank you and waiting for your reply.
