hi just after some advice. My brother claims lcwra uc and pip. I care for him but I don’t claim carers allowance because I work but on uc. My question is could I claim carers element on uc without it affecting his benefits?

Hi @poppy2002 and welcome to the community 😊
I found some information here about carers element. It says that if you claim it might affect your brother if he claims Severe Disability Payment. Hope that helps.
