Yes you can uts not the same as cares allowance.. you just need to update UC change of circumstances go under caring for someone for 35+ hr aweek and put the details in of when the award starts and finishes. Then leave a note that you are now in receipt of MRC dla and wanting the disability premium and cares elements to be added and backpayed from award start date

Thank you so much for your help I have done that now just wait and see what they say.

Nice to see those with mid Dec scans getting awarded I’m only 2 weeks behind so gives me hope! Is the money backdated from UC if entitled? Is that carers element and disabled child element? Thanks x

Hi what’s your scan date

It’s beyond, there’s no way the call queues would be this long if they just have the answers that people need the first time around 🤷🏻‍♀️x
