Carers Allowance, ESA to UC Switch? was created by BlueMoose
I apolgise if this has been asked and answered.
I am doing my UC switch from ESA, and wondered do I tick that I am getting Carers Allowance if I have an underlying entitlements and currently getting the Carers Premium on my ESA?

Hi BlueMoose
Are you in receipt of payments of Carer's Allowance or have they been stopped for some reason?

I get the Carers Premium added onto my ESA, as I care for someone in receipt of PIP for over 35 hours a week. Because of my ESA, I cannot claim the full Carers Allowance.

Hi BlueMoose
You are only getting Carer's Allowance if you are receiving payments of it otherwise not.
It would say on your bank statements the source of your payments.

I do get Carers Allowance, checked my original award letter, I have an underlying entitlement, but because I get ESA, I get the Carers Premium on my ESA, so have ticked the box on UC, to say I am in receipt of Carers Allowance, am surprised no-one else has asked this or raised the issues, as you can’t be paid CA, if you are I receipt of certain other benefits, you simply have an underlying entitlement and get a premium, but technically you are still eligible for CA. The question on UC, should ask about Carers Premium.
