Migration from ESA to UC and caring

Hi smc It may raise a few questions. You cannot claim both as an individual, LCW element = £156.11 pm, Carer Element = £198.31 pm. Gary

So if I was to get Carer Element then in future, hopefully long into the future, I am no longer a carer would the LCW have been continuing to run in background even if I wasn't actually getting that payment? Or would I just have to be reassessed, start again so to speak?

Sorry for all the questions, just trying to get my head round this.

Hi smc,

If your remain on ESA and then move to UC without a break in claim then you will remain in the WRAG/LCW.
If you keep your UC claim open but the only change is that you become a carer then you cannot lose your WRAG/LCW status without first having been through a Work Capabilities Assessment.
