Pay Carer's Allowance in addition to any other benefits or state pension
I want the Government to recognise the situation of people who are looking after a disabled relative at home, or being looked after, but do not receive Carer's Allowance in full or at all because they receive a state pension or other benefits, or have their other benefits reduced. This is not fair.
Unpaid carers save the country a lot of money by providing care at home, and I believe that anyone provides care that makes them eligible for Carer's Allowance should receive the full rate of Carer's Allowance, in addition to any other benefit or state pension they receive, without those other benefits being affected. The person receiving care should also not see their benefits reduced because someone claims Carer's Allowance for caring for them.
You can't sign this petition because it is now closed. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
