Hi ..I'm very confused.
 I'm receive, PIP, Universal credit with the limited work related capability award.
My one daughter who lives with me at the moment has children so she can't look after me.
My other daughter who doesnt live with me can look after me.
So If she claims carers allowance to be my carer, will MY benefits be deducted....we know hers will but I'm being told MY Universal Credit will be affected also.
Help please

Hi there and welcome 

Your uc will not be affected if you were on esa and getting sdp this would be affected 

However your uc will not 

Hope this helps

I've only just started with Universal credit so it's all new to me.
