Allow parents to claim carers allowance for more than one child who receive DLA

Petition Details

I am a mother of 2 disabled children. They both are in reciept of high rate DLA and mobility. Therefore I claim carers allowance of £64.60 a week which is way below the national minimum wage. One of my children has various complex medical neeeds and is a full on 24/7 365 days a week nursing role.

Additional Information

As parents and full time carers to our children, most of us can not work due to the complex nature of our children’s medical needs. Therefore I am calling on our government to enable us full time parent carers of more than one disabled child to be able to claim the £64.60 per week for each of our children who are in receipt of DLA and not just one.
