Hi Patty,
There isn't a Disability Premium with UC as there was with ESA.
Are you receiving the UC Carer's Element?

I was already on carers allowance before the switch over to UC.

Hi Patty
There are no disability premiums with UC, as a carer in receipt of CA you would be eligible to claim Care Element, remember CA would be deducted £ for £ from your UC applicable amount.
There is an element called LCWRA if you have a disability but you cannot claim both , LCWRA and CE as an individual.
