Free bus travel for Carers
I want to change the rules for carers that have a duty of care be that shopping..paying Bill's..travelling to get vital medication ect for the person they have to support they should be able to have free bus travel if they are in receipt of carers allowance for whom ever they care for.
Why is this important?
Its important because carers get a very low income to start with £66.15 per week and having to travel to get vital things and every day essentials if the person is house bound or does not want to go out can make these trip very expensive for the carer receiving such a low income when they are having to pay out anywhere from £20 to £33 a week depending where they live ...this is disgusting considering they only get a pittance for the care and support they give to others in need.
