    When claiming UC there’s no financial gain to claiming carers allowance at the same time because it’s deducted in full from any UC entitlement.
    You can claim carers element without claiming carers allowance. However, if the person is receiving LCWRA in their UC for their self they won’t be able to receive the carers element at the same time.
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

    On CA you get Class 1 NI credits whereas UC only gives Class3. For most people this makes no difference.
    Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Rules may be different in other parts of UK.
