Closed Increase Carers Allowance for Carers caring for people on Enhanced Care PIP.

Closed on

Carers helping these 'already assessed' people should get enhanced Carers Allowance as they are saving the Government money by keeping their Charges out of the care system. They should also get free prescriptions as these keep them fit and healthy to provide the care needed on a 24/7 basis

Carers Allowance and Carers access to free prescriptions are considerably less than those on JSA even though Carers currently give more by way of Government funding savings.
