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.”

ENDS
