This is a bit of a rant... but please read on and respond.......
My partner is 70 years old and gets a State Pension. He has also just been awarded Attendance Allowance.
I am 68 years old and get a State Pension. But I do NOT get Carers Allowance even though I am his full time carer.
I feel strongly that everyone who is a full time carer, SHOULD get Carers Allowance and it SHOULD NOT be means tested.
Is there not a politician anywhere in this election who would be bold enough to take this on? I suppose not, because of the cost to the country. But they would get my vote
HOW MANY OF YOU CARERS AGREE????
and
How much are we saving the country by our caring????
please let me know what you think
thanks a lot
