Speaking in the House of Lords on 21 November 2024

Debate

Carers and Poverty: Carers UK Report

Contribution

There is to be an increase in the carer’s allowance from April of next year. The change we have made in the earnings limit will, over the next four to six years, bring in an additional 60,000 people who were previously not eligible. The DWP is very conscious of a number of the pressures on unpaid and other carers and will continue to look at that. Further developments will be reported.
