Extend the Carer's Allowance Supplement to England and Wales

Closed 799 signatures

What the petition asks

The Scottish Government has introduced a Carer's Allowance Supplement of £231.40 twice a year for people receiving Carer's Allowance in Scotland. The UK Government should extend this supplement to people who claim Carer's Allowance in England and Wales.
Many people who are caring can't go to work and the extra £462.80 a year can make a difference to so many people.
