Parents in reciept of PIP care componant should receive Free School Meals

Dear Ministers

At the moment, Free School Meals are dependant on earnings. I suggest that as the care componant of PIP acknowledges there are some things adults struggle with in food prep etc, the FSM criteria should include parents who receive this benefit, regardless of earnings.

Why is this important?

As a person entitled to the Higher rate care componant, I receive an 'allowance' towards my own additional costs, but not the additional costs I have to pay for the care of my children. This is yet another example of society forgetting that disabled people can be parents too.
