Any tips on completeing the form or other claims I can make?

I filled the AA form with my sister, it was relatively easy but long winded.


I attached a copy of my dads prescription for them, we got the enhanced rate because I help him go to the loo and sort him out at night.


Once that was done I claimed the Carers element of Universal Credit, this then meant I didn't have to search for work.


Once you get it see if you other half can claim, but I do believe there are exemptions.
