I received a letter annually stating that I didn't need to be actively seeking work due to receiving Carers Allowance.
"Carer's Allowance can also affect other benefits you might be already getting – so you might be paid less in another benefit. It will count as income if you're getting Universal Credit. But you might also qualify for extra Universal Credit because you're a carer."
