Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what recent assessment she has made of the potential merits of making carer's allowance available to carers in receipt of a state pension; if she will estimate the cost to her Department of continuing to pay carer’s allowance to those carers in receipt of a state pension; and if she will make a statement.

I refer the honourable gentleman to the answer I gave on 20 April 2022 to question UIN 154461.
