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.
