Hi there
Yes he can claim carers as long as he is eligible
If he cares for you for over 35 hours a week and his earnings are below the threshold
If you claim sdp this would stop so be aware

Is he claiming any other benefits besides PIP?Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Rules may be different in other parts of UK.
