Petition Change Carers allowance requirements

Carers allowance is only paid for the following: The person you care for must recieve, PIP, DLA and 2 other benefits for pensions etc. Regardless of what benefit the person you care for receives you will still be caring for them. Change this so people on LCW, LCWRA, ESA can also have a paid carer.

More details

I personally care for my partner who receives Universal credit limited Capability for work (He gets no extra money a month) we have been battling for PIP for 2 years but because of hidden illnesses they dont understand. Help me get this changed!! So I can apply for carers allowance for looking after him daily.
