Hello @tinkerbell1865.
The information given on that post isn't quite accurate. If you're able to link to it, I will ensure it is updated.
Unfortunately, the way UC was set up would mean that people in this situation are worse off as a result, losing around £200 a month when moving from carer element to LCWRA.
However, this was challenged at an upper tier tribunal towards the end of last year, with the outcome finding in the claimant's favour.
You should be able to challenge the decision using this tribunal outcome. Take a look at this discussion for some more information: Advice for claimants RE: disabled carer's TP erosion due to LCWRA addition
