Carers element is part of Universal Credit and you can’t claim this yourself.
For your daughter to claim carers element you must be claiming a qualifying disability benefit yourself, such as daily living PIP, DLA mid/high rate care, AA or ADP daily living. She must also be claiming Universal Credit.There’s also carers allowance which is a separate benefit to UC. Again you must be claiming a qualifying disability benefit.What benefits do you claim yourself exactly?Does your daughter work? Or claim benefits herself?I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help. -

Just wanted to welcome you to the community!
I'm sorry your medical condition is getting worse. Have you made your GP aware?Hannah - She / Her
