Stop UC from deducting carers allowance from UC awards

Background

Currently people who claim carers allowance of £84.40 a week have this all deducted from their UC awards. We would like the government to stop UC from deducting this from awards.

Additional details

Claimants with jobs are allowed to earn a minimum of £411 before any deductions of their award, why should full time carers have their awards deducted £1 for £1. To be eligible for carers allowance you need to provide a minimum of 35hrs a week care to a disabled person. Carers allowance is £84.40 a week, and then this amount is deduced off UC awards. This should be classed as a full time job and reflected as such with UC claims.
