Allow carers to access the "Help to Save" Scheme

Petition Details

The Government should make those receiving Carer's Allowance eligible to access the "Help to Save" scheme, recognising that unpaid carers work to support those near and dear to them, and have little time to have a "normal" job. Those that have a "normal" job have little time for self care.

Additional Information

Those claiming Carers allowance are unable to take a paying position at a company without sacrificing other parts of life.

They should be allowed to access things like this that would help to save.

It is designed to save on a low income and designed for those working simultaneously.

Carers do satisfy both of these rules for acceptance but are side stepped.
