As she's claiming UC then providing she cares for you for at least 35 hours per week then she can claim carers element of UC providing she's not receiving the LCWRA element for herself.You don't need to claim carers allowance to be entitled to carers element. If she does claim carers allowance as well then this will just be deducted in full from her UC entitlement, so there's no financial gain. The only difference is with UC you receive class 3 NI credits but for carers allowance you receive class 1.Providing she doesn't receive the LCWRA element for herself then she needs to "report a change of circumstances" Tell them she's caring for you and then the carers element will be included in her UC from the assessment period in which the changes were reported. It's £168.81/month for carers element.1

and she should strat the date for carer that i recieved pip or can put date before my pip awarded?? thanks0

If she reported being your carer at the time you started your PIP claim and she was claiming UC at the time then they may backdate it to that date. If she doesn't ask then it won't be backdated. It will be down to a decision maker to make the final decision.

She can’t get carer element for a date before you were awarded PIP. However UC may not pay anything prior to when she tells them if she has never previously told them she cares for you.
to confirm - she doesn’t get LCWRA?
Am I correct that you get UC yourself?0 -
yes im on uc and she dosnt get lcwra0

but they told her for carer your brother must get pip,,, is they backdate carer payment to her? thanks0 -
A question myself on this subject if you get full pip and LCWRA, and have a carer do you actually lose any of your own payments to subsidise the carers payment by uc ?0

it is my question as well0

OK, should ask for the carer element to be added from the date your PIP award starts from.ahora98 said:she 5month ago told to uc she is my carer due to my Lcwra but uc refused her cos they said your brother must get pip for apply carer
