The Secretary of State for Work and Pensions and the Permanent Secretary for DWP are giving evidence to the @CommonsWorkPen tomorrow at 9.25am. We hope the issues we’ve raised about Carer’s Allowance will be part of the discussion. You can watch here: go.carersuk.org/3US8Y3H?utm_so…

.@MartinSLewis is right to call Carer's Allowance a disservice to the UK's dedicated unpaid carers Changes to the way carers are alerted to possible overpayment is tinkering at the edges Carer's Allowance needs fundamental reform and the Chancellor has the power to do just that

Mental Health Awareness Week might be over, but we need to keep the conversation going, 365 days a year.

📣 Sign our petition 📣 Carer’s Allowance must be urgently reformed. The low level of the benefit and eligibility criteria, which excludes many carers, must be changed to better support unpaid carers and systems put in place to prevent overpayments. go.carersuk.org/4aNVUU3?utm_so…
