I receive UC each month and am unable to work due to disability

My son has recently became my registered carer after my husband passed away so he receives carers allowance payments

Will this affect my UC payments ?

    No, your son becoming your carer and receiving Carers Allowance won't impact your UC award.

    Hi @clairep16, I can see Kimi87 has answered your question already but I just wanted to say hello and welcome you to the community. I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your husband. I hope you're all doing as well as possible in the circumstances 💛
