Claiming uc

I don't get why you think you don't get both and you're going to be out of pocket.

You get carers allowance deducted out of UC because they aren't going to give it you twice when you're already getting it. If that makes sense.

You get it in payments every Monday. They aren't going to give it you again in your UC. The carers element in theory is topping up your carers allowance. Its an extra payment for you because you're a carer

He was fuming about they way I was treated he not going take this laying down he taking it further and he going make sure I'm not to be committed to work

Yes but you're still getting your carers allowance. And yes I agree, it's not the best payment amount but you're not losing anything

Yes but you're still getting your carers. They aren't going to give you the same amount again in your UC.

Because carers allowance is still in payment. Yes it gets deducted from your UC. BUT it's not as though you've lost it. You still get it. Then 45 odd a week on top of that with carers element. It's 127 quid a week altogether. Carers allowance every Monday 81.90 plus your carers element. So you're not getting 45 quid a week really, you're getting 127
