    Hi @KITSUNE and welcome to the community. Sorry you haven't had an answer. Would you be able to explain more about what help you would like?

    Can you explain what you mean by complex care?

    UC have provision to offer extra support to extremely vulnerable claimants.

    Complex care is for people who can't speak, in a wheelchair full time or have a tube. Sometimes autistic people can be classed as complex as some are nonverbal.
