Rejected petition Increase carers allowance to a fair wage, including people paying a pension.

Reevaluate the wage of carers allowance. £67 a week is disgusting.people have to give up work to care,this is slave labour. If a care agency had to pay to look after a person it would cost the government thousands a month. Is this the amount a carer should get a month,no break or a lunch hour??

Use legal minimum wage. It’s unacceptable
