Hello symonenicola and welcome
Is this a new claim or a move from ESA ?
The assessment for UC is not the same as the PIP assessment
PIP is to help people with difficulties with functionality and can be paid to people who work
UC is taking over the out of work benefit and incorporating some others. So this is about your ability to work
Have a look at the self test for ESA / WCA

It's a new claim. I was a carer for my dad but due to my health deteriorating had to cancel carers and claim universal credit. Thankyou0
