Myself and my partner receive UC.
My partner has severe medical issues and I care for him daily.
My partner receives PIP (daily living) and currently receiving LCW on UC.
I work and have earned income too high for Carers Allowance.
Are we entitled to Carers element on UC?

Yes, there is no earnings limit for the carer element of UC. You simply need to use your UC journal to report a change in your caring responsibilities.0
