Equality for older carers

I know of people who had carers allowance because they provided care for a disabled or ill person often a relative, but as soon as they became retired age the care continues the care allowance stops. Please consider letting those who did or do provide care with carers allowance to continue being paid the carers allowance when they still provide the same or more care.

Why is this important?

They save NHS a lot of money providing 24 hour care 7 days a week they should be paid for the care they do irrespective of age when they retire and continue to do care as an OAP. 
Age Equality is very important. 
The NHS and social services are struggling with low funding these people do excellent care save resources. She be paid a fair amount regardless of age.
