Carers element for my disabled daughter when I’m disabled myself ?

I am Severely Disabled myself and I care for my daughter who is also Disabled. I received the Carers Element up until I transferred over to Universal Credit where they stopped it altogether.
I understand I now have an underlying benefit for Caring for my daughter but it only can be used when I start to receive my Pension.
I do not think this is Fair when I received it before on old style ESA. I asked then “why did l receive this previously” to be told they don’t know.
Why is this fair when I’m looking after my disabled daughter with No money to help me do so ? Thanks.

There are two elements of universal credit for disabled people
The "lcwra" element ( higher tier)
And the "lcw" element ( standard tier)
If you receive the lcwra element you cannot receive the carers element as well because you would end up with less uc.
If you receive the lcw element. You can receive the carers element as well because you would end up with more universal credit
Your decision letter for your wca will tell you which you get( lcwra is also known as support group lcw is also known as wrag group)
The carers element comes with a payment of roughly £200 a month
The lcwra element comes with a payment of roughly £400 a month
There is no payment. For the lcw element.
If your in a couple only one of you can receive the lcwra element and one the carer element.
If you review lcw you should inform the DWP that you should also be receiving the carers element
When you reach state pension (and your partner if you have one) you can claim pension credit, you can receive an extra payment for being a carer and an extra payment for disability
if your recieving the care component of pip/DLA/AA at the same time on pension credit.

Hi David yes I do wish to apply for the carers element on my Universal Credit or if I have to claim this on my new Style ESA since I changed over to UC.
It is all so confusing and draining to me not knowing the ins and out of these new Rules set by DWP. I was advised by my housing Benefits Advisor that once i applied for the New Scottish ADP I could then claim
this Carers Premium. I am unsure who I claim it from whether it’s ESA or UC. Can you help. I am Disabled myself on LCWRA.
I am not even sure if I’ll be entitled to this Carers Element or Carers Premium ( unsure what it should be called ) ! Thanks

Hi I am a benefits adviser in Scotland and in these situations we would in most cases advise claimants to claim the Carer Support Payment (CSP) which has replaced Carer Allowance in Scotland. Although the CSP would be deducted from your UC you would be entitled to the Scottish Carer Allowance supplement
