Stop deducting carer's allowance from income based welfare

Stop deducting carer's allowance from income based welfare — 607 signatures. Status: closed.

Petition background

Currently carer's allowance affects income based welfare. Carer's allowance is deducted from income based welfare like universal credit and Income based ESA.

Additional details

I think this is unfair because I believe it unfairly penalises carers and their families who rely on income based welfare. Treating carer's allowance in this way can lead to financial struggles for households.
