Nice video.

It’s not enough. Carers, particularly family carers are the most undervalued members of our society. Labour’s budget came out today saying that people caring 35+ hours are allowed to go out and get another job to earn more. The carers I know do not look after their family members 35 hours a week, they have to be there 160 hours a week. Nobody in power has ever given a shit about any of this, and it’s clear that isn’t going to change.

No one seems to care for the carers well being.

No one EVER mentions that if you are on income support or universal credit because you cannot work as you are caring, every penny is taken of your carers allowance. I have claimed carers allowane since 2007 and havn't been 1 copper penny better off. I feel my country kicks me in the teeth every day. SICK of hearing politicians and celebrities saying how valued we are. Saving the country billions and living in gutter poverty.

I care about someone who is very special to me and he has to try harder to get his benefits for the age that he is

I am sick of this.The unpaid and low paid carers are saving the state a fortune and now because of an error by the state these people are having to pay back.Where is the humanity in this. This country is a disgrace. Same with the stitch up by the post office.-little done. meanwhile Boris and all his cronies get away with partying during lockdown but the women gathering at Sarah Everett’s memorial vigil were knocked down by the law { the police} and while we are on the subject Lord! Cameron has agreed that we send arms to Israel whilst babies and children die. It’s all about greed and money money. The route of all evil. If there is a god maybe the greedy will get their comeuppance but I doubt it. I am rambling now but I am furious.

If your a pensioner partner looking after a slightly younger person you lose carers allowance.

my friend is a carer for his partner..he gets 50pound a week..ITS A DISGRACE...

Carers allowance is means tested on universal credit. Fact.

As a retired married woman, constantly caring for my 90-year old, disabled husband, who also has dementia, I have no entitlements at all. I’m expected to do the all work alone 24/7, no holidays, year in, year out. When my husband dies, I will only get half his service pension and my old age pension. He is entitled to “Attendance Allowance”, which is not means tested, and also a little off the council tax. I feel we old ladies are the most neglected in a society we have worked for all our lives but we are thought unworthy of money and expected to lead the lives of devoted, penniless drudges. If our husbands can no longer be cared for at home, the care homes get through all our money and property before the state will contribute, leaving us destitute. It’s a crime. It now costs £66,000 p.a. average to keep someone in a care home. Meanwhile, care home owners keep expensive yachts in the Med and laugh about how much they make at the expense of the vulnerable. How is this never reported?

My goodness. She is so upbeat whilst informing us about the pittance we can claim.

There is nothing more counter-productive to the family than being in denial. It delays medical treatment, if appropriate, and causes legal difficulties if the one afflicted has no designated POA.

*promo sm* 😇

you can claim resentment of the person you give away years caring for and nothing else fucking stranger gets 30k + to do it part time but a relative gets 4k a year if you're a carer give it up now don't piss away the best years of your life looking after your mum dad or whoever
