    Generally the maximum entitlement for a couple is:

    1x LCWRA element

    1x Carers Element

    Plus Standard Allowance (couple rate) and Housing Element (if applicable).

    If you were receiving any Transitional Protection this will reduce by the amount of any new elements since the transfer.

    You can estimate your entitlement using a benefits calculator:

    Any Carers Allowance will be deducted in full from your UC award.
