Fair Play for Working Carers postcard

The Government’s review of the existing National Carers
Strategy will shortly be publishing proposals for consultation.
Carers across Britain have high expectations that the review
will make a real difference to them. It is vitally important that
any proposed changes to rights and benefits are backed up
by the necessary resources to deliver them.
Usdaw is looking for significant changes to Carer's Allowance
to allow more low-paid working carers access to this
important benefit. At present there is little flexibility, with carers
losing all of their Allowance when they earn just a few pence
over the earnings threshold of £95 per week.
- One in three carers has trouble paying utility bills
- One in three carers has no savings at all
- Seven out of 10 carers worry about money
