UC - Mixed Aged Couples - effect on Kinship Carers
I wonder if you can help me.
As we know, from 15th May the criteria for mixed aged couples is changing. I have read that existing claimants can continue to receive PC unless they have a change in circumstances.
My question is this: Will this affect mixed aged kinship carers who are already receiving PC, who then go on to have a change in circumstances? For example, they have a child come to live with them and they make a claim CTC - would this be considered a change in circumstances or would the amount for the child be included in PC? (from 1st February).
Any information would be greatly appreciated, many thanks.
