Closed petition Stop deducting carer's allowance from income based welfare

Currently carer's allowance affects income based welfare. Carer's allowance is deducted from income based welfare like universal credit and Income based ESA.

More details

I think this is unfair because I believe it unfairly penalises carers and their families who rely on income based welfare.

Treating carer's allowance in this way can lead to financial struggles for households.
