    hi and welcome to the forum unfortunately I'm not an expert in benefits but what I can say is I recommend the coffee lounge to get to know everyone and the games den for some fun

    There is no financial gain to claiming Carers Allowance as it is deducted in full from your UC award.

    If you are on LCWRA, then no as the same person cannot get both LCWRA & CE.

    If you get LCW then you can only get Carers Element if the financial amount of LCW is less than CE.
