Do not cut Carer's Allowance

The Issue

The British PM has refused to rule out cutting Carer's Allowance as part of the Tory's public spending cuts. The Carer's Allowance is £62.10 per week for 35 hours (minimum) of care. That's a pittance, not a benefit!

Carers do an often thankless job of looking after permanently disabled, ill and physically incapacitated loved ones and friends. They deserve our help and not the thin end of the wedge when it comes to welfare payments. Sign this petition and tell the Tories we aren't having it!
