Hi and welcome

Yes you can claim carers element on your UC and still get PIP as long as the caring you do doesn't contravene the reason you get PIP

You need to care for him for over 35 hours per week and he needs to be getting PIP daily living and not claiming sdp

I would get some expert advice first before doing anything
