Carers' allowance
Continue to pay carers' allowance once the carer is in receipt of their government pension.
Why is this important?
Carers' save the government millions of pounds by caring for the elderly in their own homes and it is a disgrace that the carer is penalised by having their allowance cut just because they are in receipt of their pension. Many, like myself, have had to give up work to care and it causes financial hardship.
