Closed petition CARER'S ALLOWANCE AND STATE PENSION
Closed on
We regard as unfair and unacceptable the current position whereby carers become ineligible for carer’s allowance, once they are in receipt of state pension. It is not as if caring responsibilities cease as a result of payment of state pension.
We wish to see this rule changed by the government, so that older carers can receive both carer’s allowance and state pension.
