Petition Action

Increase the Adult Carers Allowance so that it equals the minimum wage.

Additional Information

We petition the Government to review the allowance given to all adult Carers across the United Kingdom. Currently, the allowance is below the minimum wage, but in many cases people are doing the equivalent of full-time hours or more.

Many carers believe that they do not get enough money to live on, even when you consider any additional benefits.

We believe that the Carers Allowance should equal the minimum wage and the review should look at all ways to make this possible.
