Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Full time carers have continuously given a minimum of 35 hours per week leaving no time for a paid job - no help with there own needs such as help towards there own health and medicine and transportation for a tiny amount of £64 per week legal minimum wage is going to £8.21 ph why cares get less ???

I am going to start a petition I am going to fight this I’m going to get it to the parliament and I need as much help and support I can get I will dedicate my time in getting the 10.000 signatures needed and I will fight for the rights of disabled people and there devoted carers !!!!

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

We understand you are concerned about the allowance given to carers whose duties involve at least 35 hours a week, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. For example, you could start a petition to increase the amount paid as carer's allowance to match the minimum wage, if that is what you'd like to see happen.
