Carer's Allowance: Employment
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, whether her Department plans to revise the (a) limits on earnings and (b) number of hours that can be worked for people in receipt of Carer’s Allowance.
Answered by Sir Stephen Timms
The Government recognises the challenges unpaid carers are facing and is determined to provide them with the help and support they need and deserve. It is looking closely at how the benefit system currently does this.
The Secretary of State undertakes a statutory annual review of benefit and pensions, and the level of the Carer’s Allowance earnings limit will be considered as a part of this review.
