Hi @faydhar is anyone else claiming Carer's Allowance or carer element for your mother's partner? If not, she should be receiving the carer element (previously an extra £160.20, but now £162.92). If this isn't in the payment breakdown, she should get in touch with her case manager through her Universal Credit journal.

Hey it's been sorted now she wrote on her journal asking what had happened they came back to her within a few hours and back paying what they owed from the start of the today

That's good news @faydhar. Thanks for letting us know.
