Getting Universal Credit standard rate, over 25yrs old.
if being a Carer and claiming Carers element of UC would I still be entitled to get the standard rate of UC plus the Carers element of UC

    Okay thanks
    I thought you got the Carers element of UC on a different date.
    so they combine it together with the money I already receive on UC standard rate

    Yes as advised here..
    Yes. It’s one benefit.

    It includes many different elements.
