Carer’s Allowance: Unpaid carers could lose £70 a week if they fail to report changes to D | Personal Finance | Finance
With the cost of living crisis looking set to continue for the foreseeable future, unpaid carers are encouraged to inform the DWP of any changes as soon as possible to avoid losing money.
Earlier this week, the Government announced its mini-Budget to outline the fiscal priorities of Prime Minister Liz Truss’ new premiership.
However, additional support for unpaid carers was left off the Chancellor Kwasi Kwareng’s agenda much to the ire of organisations such as Carers UK.
Emily Holzhausen OBE, the charity’s director of Policy and Public Affairs, shared her disappointment and outlined why Carer’s Allowance is simply not enough for many households.
