So they can receive a pension and be seen as employed as this is saving the goverment millions on outside care and the current pay is an insult. Most carers are to tired to take on a second job and live in poverty to care for those they love.

Why it was rejected
It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do - we're not sure who you would like your petition to apply to, if you'd like to increase carer's allowance or for carers to be employed.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
