This epetition closes tomorrow, there are already over 1700 names.
Carers are one of this countrys group of people that are poorly looked after, for caring for their loved ones.
We all know a carer and how they struggle
show support and sign the petition please.
http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/caringiswork/
We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to withdraw the
proposal to transfer carers on carers allowance and income
support to job seekers allowance and to recognise carers'
valuable social input by keeping carer benefits separate from
the rest of the benefit system.
In the Welfare Green Paper No One Written Off: Reforming
Welfare to Reward Responsibility the Government proposes to
transfer working age carers on Carers Allowance and Income
Support to Job seekers Allowance. Carers are amongst the most
responsible members of society. Without their contribution our
NHS and social care systems would collapse. Transferring carers
to job seekers allowance , a benefit that suggests carers are
not working, are not contributing to society and are available
for work is an insult and a contradiction of the government’s
claim to ‘recognise’ carers’ ‘immense contribution’ to society
(estimated to be worth £87 billion a year). Carers' valuable
social input should be recognised by keeping carer benefits
separate from the rest of the benefit system.
Thank you
