I receive UC LCWRA. I also spend time looking after my mother (It must be over 35 hours). She receives PIP daily living and mobility. I believe both at base level.
She does receive housing benefit but we're pretty sure she does not get server disability premium with it. I need to double check this.
Does it sound like i would be successful if I applied for the carer's element (I'm not even sure if that is the correct name for it). I know it's different from carer's allowance, which she does not receive.
The bit i'm unsure about is I'm not sure what level of daily living PIP she needs for me to qualify. Info on this is hard to find online.
And to be clear, this would not affect my LCWRA status, at all?
lf I do apply, do I just start the process by asking in my journal?
