Hi
So i have been told by a friend that claiming the carers elements will work out the best for me rather than claiming carers allowance please could you advise, my situation is this:
I am currently working part time and my partner is working too but we claim universal credit to help with childcare costs. I am needing to give up work to care for my grandma and will still need childcare whilst i do this but does anybody know if i just get the carers element on universal credit instead of carers allowance will i still be able to claim back for the childcare costs if it’s only my husband working and I am my grandmas carer?
Thank you so much, its all so confusing
