UC- increasing hours caring for someone I'm already caring for- query

Hi folks,
I just need a bit of advice please. I am trying to put through a change of circumstances. I've told UC before that I care for my husband less than 35 hours a week. I'm trying to tell them now that I care for him more than 35 hours a week. The first question on the change of circumstances page is "when did you first start caring for this person". I'm incredibly confused by this- I started caring for him in 2018. Should I be putting down that date, even though it was less than 35 hours at the time? Or the date that I started caring for him more than 35 hours? I feel like if I put down 2018 they're going to amend our previous UC statements and it's going to be a disaster.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Kind regards

Hi sgbd

You can put down 2018 to the answer to that question as there is no mention of the 35 hours per week criterion.

Let me know how you get on.
