Carers need to be recognised for the difficulties they are experiencing, respected for all they are doing, provided with information, and given the support they need to care safely.

The Secretary of State for Work and Pensions and the Permanent Secretary for DWP are giving evidence to the @CommonsWorkPen tomorrow at 9.25am.
We hope the issues we’ve raised about Carer’s Allowance will be part of the discussion.

.@MartinSLewis is right to call Carer's Allowance a disservice to the UK's dedicated unpaid carers
Changes to the way carers are alerted to possible overpayment is tinkering at the edges
Carer's Allowance needs fundamental reform and the Chancellor has the power to do just that
'It's a disservice to carers in this country who are the backbone and cut the cost of the NHS and the State.'
@MartinSLewis asks the Chancellor if he will fix the cliff edge for people claiming carer's allowance.

📣 Sign our petition 📣
Carer’s Allowance must be urgently reformed. The low level of the benefit and eligibility criteria, which excludes many carers, must be changed to better support unpaid carers and systems put in place to prevent overpayments.
