Hi,You can put a note on your journal but a PIP award doesn't automatically entitle you to more UC. If you're claiming with a partner then providing they are not claiming the carers element or carers allowance for looking after someone else and they are not claiming the LCWRA element then they can claim the carers element for looking after you.If you're under 35, living alone, with no dependant children and you're claiming the housing element then you'll be entitled to the 1 bedroom rate of local housing allowance, rather than the shared rate, if you're privately renting.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.

My partner is carer for his mum

I knew I wouldn't get more uc but didn't no if I had to inform them by law
-
There's no law to inform them because they're 2 completely different benefits and it's not a change of circumstances.
