Commission an independent review of the effects of caring, on carers incomes.
Many Unpaid Carers are reliant on Carers Allowance, in order to help "make ends meet", however with the increasing costs required to fund the needs of caring for people with disabilities, Carers Allowance often does not meet the demand.
In 2008, the Carers Strategy looked to review carers benefits as part of a wider process of welfare reform. Parliamentary Business - Publications & Records, Select Committee on Works and Pensions Fourth Report (3) Carers Incomes and benefits. Neither the last Labour Government, nor any Government since have implemented the recommendations made from that review.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions need to call on the UK Government or Parliament to take a specific action. We're not sure whether you would like a new inquiry into carers or whether would like the Government to implement the recommendations from earlier inquiries. You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
