My husband is extremely poorly and I receive the carers allowance for looking after him. He receives PIP enhanced for mobility and standard for daily living, our family are wishing to support us and let us come off the UC, which is fine, but just wondering will it affect the CA and PIP,
kind regards Brenda

Not claiming UC will make no difference to CA or PIP.Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Rules may be different in other parts of UK.

Hi and welcome
As explained it won't affect either
But do give this some thought as if you are entitled to the benefit then why stop claiming
I know there can be a lot of stress associated with claiming and you will have your reasons but bear in mind the other elements that you may be eligible for like prescriptions, dentist council tax reduction etc -
Good morning Janer, thank you for your reply, even thou we are both of poor health, my husband more so than me, we are struggling as we were hacked for his pension by them low life and there is no way of getting the money back, plus we have a company ticking over, just to keep the young lads in work as they have a young family themselves, he said he wants to get back to work, even thou he isn't well, just to get money, and I want to be honest with DWP and not be working and claiming at the same time. So we thought it only right to stop claiming UC
