Carers Allowance Award not to be limited to just one person!
Change the out dated rule of Carers Allowance being only limited to caring for one person!Many people have two or more persons within the same family to care for due to disabilities and illnesses of all sorts.In these families many have the one person caring for them as a main carer but can only legally claim one Carers Allowance! This has an enormous financial impact on families.One main carer caring for two or more should receive Carers Allowance for each individual as one cannot in many cases work and care in these situations!
Why is this important?
Many families are suffering and falling into poverty and financial hardship fearing for their futures and suffering stressful discisions forced on them due to caring commitments of two or more.Many care for the disabled more hours than legally allowed to work for free so should’ve helped financially as this is not a choice of lifestyle at all it is a necessity to care for loved ones!
