Pensioners and universal credit claimants will have financial acknowledgement for ther caring roles.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action. We understand that you're concerned about how Carer's Allowance currently operates, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to replace Carer's Allowance with.
