Closed Double Carers Allowance and pay in addition to other benefits

Closed on

I purpose Doubling Carers Allowance and also stopping other benefits from using it to calculate what they can give also. So in summery, Double and no longer allow Universal Credit to remove pound for pound if Carers is in receipt.

I would like Parliament to debate and hopefully change the laws forcing the relevant Government Dept. To pay Our Carers a liveable amount without removing it pound for pound from Universal Credit.Basically if you care for someone 30 hours or more a week you should be paid a proper wage untouched by any recourse in UC. No removing pound for pound Carers from UC.
