What's the point of carers allowance?
I usually get carers allowance but my wife's pip is messed up and we didn't get it this months and I realized we get the same amount with or without carers allowance?
As they take it pound for pound and you can get the carers element of universal credit with or without carers allowance what's the point is applying for carers allowance?
I was told I'd be better of with carers allowance?
What's the benefits and drawbacks of having it or not thankyou!
