carers element of u/c

hi mods, i am asking because we qualify if it is best to add carers element to my u/c migration as it would make my transitional protection element less by the £201.68 carer element. and would this be better long term, or would it be favourable to have the larger transitional protection element. i hope you can understand what i am getting at. many thanks reds 123.

thank you david, what sort of things should i look at claiming as i already claim, living expenses for me and partner, extra money because we are severely disabled,disability income guarantee, extra money in support group, both on pip.many thanks . tried calling esa today to ask if i am only income related or mixed esa but kept getting cut off cab told me to call and ask before migration but got no joy. thanks anyway reds123.
