Petition Include Carers Allowance in the £650 cost of living payment

The government to include people claiming Carers Allowance in the cost of living payment as it is not a means tested benefit they do not qualify

More details

Carers Allowance claimants save the government £132 Billion a year and they are one of the lowest paid for the amount of hours they work. The Scottish government treats it carers more fairly with a carers allowance supplement of £245.70 twice a year on top of Carers Allowance But The English government cannot even help our carers out with the cost of living. Thousands of carers just rely on Carers Allowance payments and do not claim any means tested benefits so will not qualify for the £650 cost of living payment.
