Stop closure of Income Support cases due to Carers Allowance increase on 7.4.23
Allow Income Support claimants with Carers Allowance to continue from 7.4.23 and let the carers payment increase be accepted and worked out overall in the next few weeks payments to stabilise rather than forcing people to claim universal credit or automatically migrate over with protected benefits
Dwp are closing income support cases with carers allowance on 6.4.23. The increase in CA is taking IS cases over income max for 1 week {CA pays advance & IS arrears).when ring to ask why they say to make UC claims get less money & not paying any protected benefits instead of automatically migrating claimants
Carers have stressful lives and are being penalised
DWP are issuing letters showing current entitlements with one line in 6 page letters which states income support will end 7.4.23

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We understand that you are concerned about certain people in receipt of Income Support being moved onto Universal Credit, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.
It's not clear if you want the Government to exempt anyone in receipt of Carer's Allowance from being moved from Income Support to Universal Credit, or if you want the eligibility criteria for Income Support to be changed.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
