HI,Your husband can claim the carers element of UC and there's no earning limited to this, all he needs to do is care for you for at least 35 hours per week.He doesn't need to claim carers allowance to be eligible for this but if he did claim carers allowance then of course there's an earning limited to this.I believe i did post a link in a previous thread of yours regarding this, here's the link again about carers element.
I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help. -
Does he have to go.down to.jobcentre once he put on journal or does it go straight on
-
No, he won't need to attend any appointments. He will also be moved to the no work requirements group and won't have to attend any further appointments or be made to look for work.

Is this money backdated or not poppy

Your partner needs to tell them that he's caring for you for at least 35 hours per week and ask for the carers element to be added. It can be backdated yes but it depends on circumstances.
