Carers allowance

Hi there.

I just wanted to know if my grandma applies for carers allowance for caring for me 35+ hours a week.. Will the money be deducted from my Universal Credit?

Thanks.

No but if your grandma receives state pension of over £69.70 per week she would not be paid any carers allowance as it is an overlapping benefit with state pension. She can be paid a carers premium if she is eligible to claim Pension credit.
