Do you claim any other benefits other than PIP?
You might be able to claim a disability premium depending on your circumstances, if no one is claiming carers allowance for you. Here is the eligibility for this.

As Chloe said, if she stops claiming Carer's Allowance, depending on your other benefits and situation it is possible you'd then be entitled to Severe Disability Premium (SDP).
Please let us know how you're getting on and if there's anything we can do to support you.
