    LCWRA is part of UC. If you claim carers allowance it will just be deducted in full from any UC entitlement so there's no financial gain.
    As you've been found to have LCWRA then you won't be able to claim carers element of UC at the same time.

    Hello there @AmandaJane73 and welcome to the community, thanks for your query :) To help other members with the same question I've just edited the title, and moved your post over into our Benefits category. 

    I can see Poppy has replied, is there anything else you're feeling unsure about?
