Closed Allow full time students to claim Carers Allowance

Closed on

I care for my wife who is disabled but I am penalised by the DWP due to being a full time student so that I can better myself and provide stability in our home.

I think it's totally unfair that I am not allowed to claim Carers Allowance even though I care for this person over the min recommended time set by the DWP.

Please join me by signing this to get the government to re-look at they way Carers Allowance can be paid to full time students.
