As you all may remember i was waiting for replies to e-mails / letters from various ministers ive now had 3 replies my main question was as a carer who is only in receipt of the carers allowance and no other benefit such as Income Support what will happen to me if / when the welfare reform green paper becomes law - ie working age carers on carers allowance & income support will move onto Job Seekers Allowance (£60 per week ) will i remain on the carers allowance (£50 per week )
The replies are the same they have said as a full time carer 24/7 i will not be requiered to seek employment therefore i will be classed as a full time carer
They have not said if the carers allowance will remain for carers like myself who do not get other benefits at all ( mainly because of private pension or part time work ) they also said carers who move onto J.S.A. will not have to find work what i also asked was will a carer who moves onto J.S.A. be better off as J.S.A. is higher than carers allowance they said the higher rate may reduce other benefits IAM STILL CONFUSED
ive decided no more letters its just a waste of time mind you i have replied to these 3
