What the petition asks
Rise carers and disability benefits to fit the rising energy and gas bills.
Carers work so hard to care for loved ones and friends. Using their own money to travel to the people they care for. Carers don't get what working people get in a 35 hour job. Caring for someone is a full time job and should be recognised as one.
People on Disability Living Allowance (DLA) and Personal Independence Allowance (PIP) need the extra money. Most of the claimants who get these benefits stay home nearly all of the time and that means gas and electric is used a lot more than others. Most use all there payment on there heating bill
