Hi guys!
I am caring somebody from my family, therefore I can't work more than couple hours per week. (I am getting Carers Allowance).
But was wondering if there any other support or discount I can receive?
I would be very grateful.
Best Regards

Universal Credit has replaced all the old means tested benefits. As it's means tested whether you qualify will totally depend on your circumstances. If you live with a partner you claim as a couple. If you have savings/capital of more than £16,000 you're excluded from claiming.You can use a benefits calcualtor to check entitlement. https://www.entitledto.co.uk/benefits-calculator/Intro/Home?cid=85eb84c1-0713-4e83-9191-fc982f9da61eThe Carers Allowance will be deducted in full from any UC entitlement.
