Carers allowance will be deducted in full from any UC entitlement. Your partner doesn't need to claim carers allowance to be entitled to carers element. They just need to report a change of circumstances and tell them they are caring for you for at least 35 hours per week. (providing your PIP includes the daily living part)If they do claim carers allowance as well then need to be aware of the earnings limit, which is £132/week after deductions.1

Carers element is not automatically paid. Your partner needs to report a change of circumstances.
