Hi Rick6056

Your question is outside the scope of this forum, but you can find the information here www.gov.uk/housing-benefit. Your claim should continue.

Hi Rick6056

As BIS has stated your HB will continue.

If no one claims carer allowance for you then you may be able to claim Pension Credit but this is dependant on your income which includes any pensions that you may receive: www.gov.uk/pension-credit
