Hello,
We are in Scotland. I have received a letter this weekend confirming my 9 year old has been awarded highest rate care and mobility child disability payment after a review (I am extremely grateful).
Can I ask, does anyone how this might affect universal credit? I currently receive 'disabled child's element. I earn above the carers allowance threshold, but is there anything else I should request or can request?
I own our home so we are not entitled to housing element. It varies, but typically spend more than 35 hours caring for my son, but I also work of course, 27 hours, I can't work FT, my son has been excluded from wrap around care since 2022, so I work around school and in the evenings.
Any help hugely appreciated! Thank you
