    Yes, Carers Allowance will be deducted in full from your UC award.

    Do you receive LCWRA yourself?

    Okay thank you, my other suggestion won't be relevant in that case.

    so, it means I should not do that because i am not going to get extra money? It will be deducted ?

    There won't be any financial gain, because what you get in Carers Allowance will be taken off your UC award.
