Hello
I've recently been awarded Carers Allowance. I have added the Carers Element to Universal Credit but I know this is a separate thing from CA. They are aware that I am a carer now obviously as I have had this added and had to give them all the details.
On my journal when I declare my earnings, it asks about self employment earnings (I am part time self employed) but I thought it would also ask for my carers earnings as I know they deduct CA as they class it as earnings don't they, but there was nowhere to declare it?
Will they know now I am in receipt of CA and just automatically adjust the Universal Credit award themselves every month?
Thank you
