We're delighted with the Government’s decision to undertake reassessments of penalties handed to carers. DWP have admitted their guidance was wrong and confusing. Thousands of carers finally feel vindicated. (1/2) https://t.co/W9SvT1IEFu

Great to have been at @libdem Conference. We held a fringe on carer poverty, spoke on a panel on carer burnout and held a roundtable on local carer support.

Thanks to all the MPs, Councillors and charity colleagues who are working with us to keep carers on the political agenda.

[Carers Trust @CarersTrust]

Brilliant to have such good engagement at our @LibDems conference fringe today. Lots of agreement on need to improve, join-up and reform our benefits system. We heard from @SteveDarlingMP, Nicole Sykes from @LBFEW, Louise Woodruff from @jrf_uk Read our report: https://t.co/93TTdIdS9T

[Carers Trust @CarersTrust]

Our huge thanks, @SteveDarlingMP , for supporting our fringe event today!

[Steve Darling MP @SteveDarlingMP]

Ending carer poverty is essential if we are to properly value those who give so much to look after loved ones.

This morning I joined a panel with @CarersTrust at Lib Dem Conference – thank you organising such an interesting discussion.

Carers are protesting in a unique way at Westminster this morning over the lack of paid respite.

Actor Greg Wise is a @CarersTrust ambassador and was a live-in carer for his sister for the last three months of her life.

Today's PIP Bill will lead to many people losing vital benefits they rely on to make ends meet.

"Carers are already at increased risk of poverty and this could push many over the edge."

More updates to follow.

In case you missed it, there was some good news in this week's Comprehensive Spending Review.

The government committed £1 billion per year for the Crisis and Resilience Fund. This will help those facing a financial crisis with the support they need.

This is what we and others called for in our joint report on local welfare.

This is a terrific blog from my @TheKingsFund colleague, Julia Cream, and it includes one of the most startling opening lines you will ever read. #Carers https://t.co/na630bAkdi

Say it loud and clear 📢

Carers went to Parliament to tell MPs about the issues affecting millions of carers across the UK.

Thank you to the brilliant carers who shared their experiences.

[Carers Trust @CarersTrust]

Great to see @EdwardJDavey raising the impact on carers as a result of the welfare reforms.

Families risk losing thousands of pounds every year as a result.

The PIP reforms will have a devastating impact on tens of thousands of carers and the people they care for.

A much-deserved award for @patrickjbutler and @JoshHalliday for their vital work exposing the Carer's Allowance overpayment scandal.

Their journalism has shone a light on just how outdated and broken the Carer's Allowance system is #CarersAllowance

[Ramzi Suleiman @RamziCT]

Congratulations @patrickjbutler and @JoshHalliday. The Carer's Allowance Overpayment scandal has not just exposed how unfair the earnings limit rules could be but also how massively outdated and not fit for purpose Carer's Allowance is.

[Carers Trust @CarersTrust]

Thank you to all the MPs who spoke at yesterday's Westminster Hall debate about PIP to highlight the massive impact the changes to disability benefits will have on carers.

Here's @danfrancis02 highlighting that carers already live in poverty and these changes may make things worse.

[Carers Trust @CarersTrust]

Over time, this should stop overpayments from building up. This is welcome but goes nowhere near enough.

It's time to recognise, as we & carers have long said, that Carer's Allowance is outdated. The system doesn't need tweaking - it needs complete reform

[Carers Trust @CarersTrust]

🚨 The UK Government’s benefits overhaul could strip £1.1 billion from carers by 2030.

Carers and their families are facing a financial cliff edge.

Learn how these changes are affecting carers — and what the government must do to lessen the impact.
