Hi can anyone advise me please I receive pip and recently my carer as applied for ca since I’ve been told that I would have to pay rent and ct if she receives this ? Is this true? Thanks

If you get SDP then a carer claiming CA will lose you the SDP. That may or not mean you lose the means-tested benefit. Depends on how much you’re currently getting. If you lose the means-tested benefit as a result of losing SDP you will still get some help with HB and CTR but no longer 100% of the eligible amounts.
