UC migration - carer element and TP / bedroom tax

ltcinter

Hi hoping for some help

I am due to be migrated by October 3.

One concern is how applying for carer element will impact TP.

I read somewhere that to protect TP it matters if CE is claimed in AP1 or AP2.

I have been claiming carers credits to protect my NI contributions, but I am now definitely at least 35 hours a week.

I am the partner in my wife's IRESA claim.
We both get ADP care component, full HB with extra room exemption and full council tax rebate.

I am not sure what happens to the bedroom tax exemption when I move to UC, will I need new evidence etc of non-resident overnight carer? When would this need to be sent?

Any advice much appreciated.

After your housing costs are verified, you’ll get a task in your To-Do list asking about the extra bedroom (for a couple it will ask if you need an extra bedroom for overnight care from someone who does not live with you OR if you’re unable to share due to health / disability).
