There is also a Carer's Element to Universal Credit which can be claimed by carers. You can claim this AND Carer's Allowance.
If you're unsure how to do this, put a note on your Universal Credit journal and speak to your case manager about it who will be able to help.
Do let me know if you have any other questions!
