If your mother lives alone she will likely receive the Severe Disability Premium. If you claim carers allowance this will stop.0

she doesn't live alone all she gets is the higher rate of dla0

You won't be able to claim JSA as you won't be actively looking for employment0

You could however claim Universal Credit as a carer depending on your personal circumstances.0

You said she receives the higher rate. There's 2 parts to DLA and for you to claim Universal credit as a carer or claim carers allowance then she needs to be claiming DLA mid/high rate care.0
