Make carers allowance payable to carers after they reach pensionable age.

What the petition asks

I have cared for my husband for the last 18+years after he sustained a traumatic brain injury. I had to give up my full time job to do this and now I find that I am going to loose CA when I reach pensionable age which I feel is grossly unfair as I am still a full time carer.
