    For your son to be able to claim carers element you must be receiving a qualifying disability benefit such as PIP daily living or DLA mid/high rate care.
    LCWRA element doesn’t qualify anyone to claim carers element for looking after you.

    Thank you for clearing that up these benefits are so confusing.
