Hi @Abbie_1990, welcome to the community! It's great to have you here.
I'm afraid I don't know the answer to this myself- I wonder if it's worth giving the universal credit helpline a call to see if they can clarify?Universal Credit helpline

Hi Abbie 1990
A very warm welcome.
Your mileage payment should not be included for UC.
But give them a call to make sure.
At least you are being paid some expenses, a lot of care workers don't.
Hope your enjoying your new vital role.
