UC staff advisors please x

[SUNFLO]

I am a single mum
my child recieves DlA
all elements in uc are correct
I am now a carer for mum and child .
on to fo list
are u single yes
have u earned under 542 in previous months yes in one month
so YES

is this all to do with grace period / benefit gap
child been on DLA for 2 years
what's happens if I don't get grace period
will my uc stop !!!
or am I exempt due to being a carer and child gets DLA

thanku for reading x

Are you a carer for your child already? And they receive dla? And that's all verified by UC?

Do you claim carers element on the UC for your child? Do you also claon carers allowance ( this is the one where its taken off pound for pound)

Nothing should change as I don't think you can be a carer for your mum and your child as have to be 35 hours a week for each. I'm not sure what you mean by the grace period? Do you mean not telling UC about a change.

You are exempt from the benefit cap as your child gets DLA - and if youre a carer claiming Carers Allowance.

The benefit cap doesnt stop your UC, instead reduces the total amount you can get from benefits. Not all benefits are included, for instance DLA.

But youre exempt anyway.

Thankyou
I google too much x
I get carers element in uc also disability element due to child on DLA
I had to do a to do on uc
