Hi,
Yes, you can claim PIP and Carers Allowance at the same time.
Just to have to be a bit careful to make sure it doesn't contradict the reasons you were awarded PIP.

Ah ok, it's the same but works in reverse in that case. Prepare for the assessors to use your caring responsibilities against you at a PIP assessment.
