(Estimated Final Signatures: 161 - 1 added in the past 24hrs)
I propose that all care services should be VAT exempt for all disabled people, regardless of provider and without the need for a care plan written by a doctor or social worker. A simple declaration, as is the case for equipment, should suffice.

The RAC Foundation reports that the Cost of Motoring has increased by 46.39% over the past 10 yrs alone (to Mar 24) and yet, HMRC MAP rate for reimbursing the use of private cars for employees and volunteers has been frozen since 2011 at 45p/per mile.

I would like the Government to recognise the hard work and struggles unpaid carers go through and change Carer's Allowance to pay carers the minimum wage for every hour of care they provide. Workers are entitled to the minimum wage, and we think carers should be too.

- 26 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 100 - 2 added in the past 24hrs)
As Austerity’s funding cuts bite into council finances, they are in serious financial distress and falling like skittles. Nottingham, Birmingham, Woking, Thurrock, Northumberland, Croydon, Slough and Northamptonshire have declared "bankruptcy" (section 114). Many more have stated they are at risk.
