HI and welcome,There's no middle rate of PIP, it's either standard or Enhanced.For your partner to claim carers allowance for looking after you then you must be claiming either mid/high rate care DLA or PIP daily living. As they are working they mustn't be earning more than £123 per week, if they are earning more than this then they won't be able to claim carer allowance.May i ask what other benefits, if any you are both claiming?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.

Hi @JIMMYRAY6 - I'd like to add my welcome to this very supportive community. Thank you for joining. I hope your pain management programme may be helpful. How many weeks in are you?I'm sorry I can't add any more, other than to agree with Ails, that if you answer Poppy's question, she may be able to offer further advice, as she knows an awful lot about the benefit system!
