Increase earnings limit for carers before affecting their carers allowance

Closed 38 signatures

What the petition asks

I work 16 hours a week, term time. If I worked any more I would lose my carers allowance for disabled son who I care for in excess of 100 hrs pw. When there are opportunities for me to attend courses and work extra hours, I am unable to do because I would lose my carers allowance.
