Increase Carers Allowance to equal 35hrs at National Minimum Wage - Final Signatures: 26,454

Carers Allowance is currently £269 per month for 35 hours a week, which works out at roughly £1.92 per hour. National Minimum Wage for 18 year olds is currently £6.56 per hour. Carers Allowance is a taxable benefit and treated as a wage by the DWP.

The Government responsed to this petition on 22nd April 2021 (View Full Response)
Carer’s Allowance is a benefit that provides some financial recognition that a carer may not be able to work full-time. It is part of a range of support based on individual needs, rather than a wage.
