Carer's Allowance: Reform
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what plans she has to reform Carer's Allowance.
Answered by Sir Stephen Timms
We are grateful to Liz Sayce for her Independent Review of earnings related overpayments of Carers' Allowance, who's findings we are now considering. We have made the highest ever increase to the Carers' Allowance earning limit, and are looking longer term at the feasibility of an earnings taper.
