Claiming PIP as a carer

Iv been waiting, from july18, for my appeal, also on my letter I got, it says on every page, I get careers for my brother and to ckeck it, yes I do but I asked carers before I claimed it I phoned and told them I'm disabled myself and was I OK to claim, I see him every day, spend alot of time with I'm, and sit outside bathroom every day wen he shoo, to make sure he doesn't fall, we go out on or mobility scooter as we both suffer anxiety and stress, so it helps us, the carers told me I'm OK with that as the don't judge or penalised people,but I feel they saying I must b ok cus I care for him, y would she put on every page they should check that I get it, wen iv been told careing for someone, doesn't mean, cooking, cleaning, bathing or housework, as long as u there for them 35a week, witch I am at his or with him more than that

Hello @Seb Pleased to meet you welcome.
Thank you for joining and sharing.
I am one of the team of community champions who guide, advise and help new members who join the forum.
I am unsure of an answer to your question. I know we have members of our team or members of our community be able to answer to you.
One suggestion is to speak to CAB. They may be able to answer any questions you have.
They have expertise and knowledge on benefit enquiries.
Please have a look around our website for anything further.
Please take care.

If you have a few minutes to spare, we'd appreciate your feedback on our online community.
The fact that you drive a car is also being used to deny PIP.
