    Hi @mumsarah and welcome to the community. I've popped your comment in to its own post so it's more visible as the post you commented on was from July. Hopefully some of our members can share their experiences with you.

    Unfortunately under Universal Credit it's not possible for the same person to get both LCWRA & Carers Element.

    Have you seen anyone for a benefits check to make sure your household is getting everything it is entitled to?
