Carers allowance

zapcat123

Bit of a long one, I receive carers  allowance for my mum who has mental health problems due to a horrific attack that left her body burnt and threatened with a shotgun.
she receives disability, housing and council tax support. The carers allowance is taken off my UC which is a top of my wages. Because I receive carers allowance my mum is no longer entitled to pension credit. She also just received a letter from that council stating that a deduction will be made on her rent because I receive carers allowance. 

I’m just so confused why they have done this 
can anyone explain why my mum should suffer because I get carers allowance please

Page here that describes how carer's allowance affects the carer's and cared for person's benefits, seems to describe same as you https://www.gov.uk/carers-allowance/effect-on-other-benefits

Before claiming either carers allowance or carers element of UC for looking after someone you should always check if that would affect any of their benefits. When a person claims a disability benefit their benefits could include the Severe Disability Premium. This will lost when someone claims either Carers allowance or Carers element of UC. Which as you've now found out, could affect other benefits they maybe claiming. 

Her council Tax reduction could also now be affected as well.
