.@MartinSLewis is right to call Carer's Allowance a disservice to the UK's dedicated unpaid carers
Changes to the way carers are alerted to possible overpayment is tinkering at the edges
Carer's Allowance needs fundamental reform and the Chancellor has the power to do just that
22 May 2024
'It's a disservice to carers in this country who are the backbone and cut the cost of the NHS and the State.'
@MartinSLewis asks the Chancellor if he will fix the cliff edge for people claiming carer's allowance.

📣 Sign our petition 📣
Carer’s Allowance must be urgently reformed. The low level of the benefit and eligibility criteria, which excludes many carers, must be changed to better support unpaid carers and systems put in place to prevent overpayments.
