Thank you @wendychambLD for hosting our #CarersWeek event in parliament today. You continue to be a fantastic champion for unpaid carers and we look forward to continuing to work with you to highlight the challenges carers are facing.
It is so unfair to have a limit on carers earnings. I care for my adult Son and also work for Tesco but never go over the weekly earnings limit. I received βthank youβ payments for working right through covid so now have to pay Β£2,500 carers allowance back for those months. π
We are calling for an increase to earnings limit for Carerβs Allowance and an increase in support for unpaid carers on means-tested benefits.
