Can anyone tell me if I can back claim for universal credit as I have been a carer for my mum 4 years and only just found out I can get universal credit

We have lots of information about universal credit on our website.
Have you spoken to CAB they can advise also about benefits and universal credit.
We are a supportive community. Friendly, care and share.
Please ask if we can advise on anything further.

Hi @kazz291 welcome to the community!
I know most benefits can only be backdated from when you make a claim.Disability Gamechanger - 2019 -
Hi,Universal Credit can be backdated for 3 months. Unfortunately, you will not be able to backdate your claim for 4 years.Do you receive carers allowance for looking after your mum? Do you work as well as look after your mum? What benefits, if any do you receive?
