Ed Davey: get rid of Carer's Allowance cliff edge
29 Oct 2024
EMBARGO: Immediate Release
Responding to news that the Government is set to increase the Carer's Allowance threshold, Liberal Democrat Leader Ed Davey MP said:
“Raising the earnings limit for Carer’s Allowance would be a good step forward, but I hope the Government will go further and get rid of the cliff edge altogether.
"We need a full review of Carer’s Allowance to end the repayments scandal and give carers the proper support they deserve.”
