Carer's Allowance effects income-based welfare. Carer's allowance is taken off the amount of Universal Credit Income support and income based ESA that carers caring for sick disabled family members may receive.
I think this is unfair because it unfairly penalises carers and their families who rely on income-based welfare.
I am one of those carers. My Carer's Allowance is taken from my income-based ESA because the Government says my household only needs so much to live on.
These rules mean we are permanently struggling financially.
