My The Guardian story w/@joshhalliday: 600 unpaid carers prosecuted and left with a criminal record, 262k in ruinous debt - official National Audit Office audit shows the scale of the DWP failure on carer's allowance in the 5 years after it vowed to fix the benefit theguardian.com/society/2024/d…

Still currently more than 134,500 #unpaidcarers repaying overpayment debts of more than £251m, whilst CA unit focused on internal savings, cutting staff who did checks by 14% over past 2yrs despite previous NAO warnings Everything should be put on hold til Govt review is done!

Patrick Butler The Guardian Josh Halliday National Audit Office FFS stop talking to charities and start talking to us #Carers! Better still, organise a meeting between carers and the relevant Minister! I would LOVE to take part. The level of #CarersAllowance has ALWAYS been set too low, much lower than the benefits foster parents get.
