Hi I live in Scotland I received limited capability for work my husband and I receive universal credit and I receive capability for work benefit can my husband be my carer as he cares more than 35 hours a week for me and would he be exempt from looking for work

For your Husband to be recognised as your carer, you'd need to be on a qualifying benefit:

LCWRA by itself wouldn't meet the qualifying criteria.

Yes he would be exempt from work commitments.

Component react.suggestedcontent had an error.

The value must be greater than or equal to 1.
