OK, I have 4 years until I claim my pension BUT, this is for all those who are in this situation....WHY, when a carer reaches retirement age and they can claim a state pension, does their carers allowance stop? Do their caring responsibilities stop? No, does the person they are caring for stop receiving THEIR benefit when THEY reach retirement age? No, so why does carers allowance stop?
It is about time Carers were recognised for what they do and actually receive a decent 'benefit'!
Please forgive the 'rant' it is just something I feel very strongly about
