Rejected petition Give carers in England the carers allowance supplements
Rejected on
In Scotland they get supplements to top up carers allowance. England should get the same. Carers are already underpaid and save the government thousands if not more every year. It’s time to make it fair and realistic.
It’s their job to look after England and should bring this in line with Scotland. It’s rubbing English carers faces in it and it feel very unfair.
