Hey there @Lovelock93 welcome to the community.

As OverlyAnxious has asked, we do need additional information to be able to answer your question. I don't want to confuse things, so I'll leave you two to it, I just wanted to pop in and say a quick hello. 😊

I get LCW but was after april 2017

Yes as Carers Element exceeds what you get for LCW, Carers Element can be claimed.

I dont get anything for lcw as i claimed ster 2017

Exactly. You get £0 for LCW so would qualify to receive payment for Carers Element.

Please note if you ever get LCWRA, Carers Element would end as the same person cannot get both.
