Pay all unpaid carers carer's allowance, to recognise and support them
Carers allowance is only granted if you earn under a certain amount and is treated like a benefit. Some carers are struggling but exempt from carer's allowance. We think that carer's allowance needs to be offered to all unpaid carers.
Some carers cannot access respite care easily. A number are forced to give up work or juggle work and care. An unpaid carer saves a lot on live in care or care home costs by taking on an unpaid carer role. They need financial and practical support.
If you want to sign this petition (as opposed to merely discuss it), you need to do that on the government's e-Petitions website.
