Simplify the benefits system.

Carers have enough to do keeping someone basically ALIVE.

We don’t have time for bloody spreadsheets, accountants & paperwork as easy to understand as Sumerian.

These overpayments to carers are the fault of a deliberately cruel system.

stupid ppl when carers also are littles 😢😢😢😡😡😡😣😣😭😭😭😭😭😢😢😢😣😣😰😰😰😡😡

The way the DWP treats unpaid carers is utterly despicable.

Remind me of a job where you are on call 24/7, have no holiday entitlement, are paid less than £3 per hour (may be paid nothing at all). No training or support in most cases.
This is the reality for unpaid carers! Many don't get Carers Allowance, no respite, no help at home.

Someone explain to me why, if you work 10 hours in a skilled job such that you earn more than £120 a week you shouldn't be entitled to carers allowance if you are actually providing the 35 hours of care? Why do you need to be kept in poverty?

47 % of unpaid carers work for 90 or more hours a week!

That’s over 12 hours a day. There’s no guaranteed breaks as paid carers are entitled to.

47% do 90 hours or more. More could be 100, 120, 168. Why is this legal?

Today the Carer’s Leave Act which I passed through Parliament comes into force! The law allows unpaid carers 5 days of leave to help manage their employment and caring responsibilities. The work carers do is vital yet often under appreciated.

What an amazing spring concert! 150 people attended, Tod Mayor & Mayoress, the super singers, those that attended and of course to our volunteers of Dementia Friendly Todmorden giving their time to the community, supporting those living with dementia,their carers and families 👍

Early #Alzheimers symptoms can be subtle or completely unseen, mistaken for other illnesses, or dismissed as 'part of normal ageing.' studies have shown that often there are common signs that can alert you to early changes.🧠🫂

Tirana will invest €1 million to build 20 “school streets” in 2024, which redesign corridors around the needs of kids and their carers.

This will double the number of such interventions, and get it 40% of the way towards its goal of protecting every neighborhood school by 2026.

If unpaid carers are going to be prosecuted, who’s going to investigate the government for paying under the min wage to unpaid carers and loss of earnings for their life sacrifice? Saving them 168 billion a year and they are penny pinching. Who’s the criminal?

Project Detroit; Sadiq Khan’s plan to introduce Pay per Mile.

The final deadly blow to motorists, carers, small businesses & tradespeople.

Only the Conservatives are supporting motorists; Vote Susan Hall for Mayor & Calum McGillivray for GLA. #VoteConservative

‘Unpaid carers shocked at having to repay thousands’

Has this happened to YOU?

Plse do DM me confidentially bbc.co.uk/news/uk-687743…

➡️On April 9, 2024, in Thessaloniki, Greece 37 #mentalhealth professionals and family members had the chance to explore a segment of the EUF Project Photogallery and receive information about #EUF project.

DWP overpays carers allowance, says it an “honest mistake” but sends poor people to prison. Chancellor, Jeremy Hunt investigated for money laundering for avoiding £100,000 stamp duty and fails to tell the Parliamentary register, calls it “an oversight” … nothing happens.

. Mel Stride why arent you dealing with the persecution of #carers by the DWP?

Why are good people who give up their lives to care for family members being driven to contemplate suicide by YOUR errors?
