  Carers have been poorly supported through successive governments. I get £67.25 a week for supporting my mother 24-7, 7 days a week. When I started claiming the DWP took away her severe disability payment, so financially we're no better off.

  Its time that @BorisJohnson & @RishiSunak did more than just look at the minimal amount unpaid careers get. Many spend 24/7 caring for those who would need full time paid care. A £20 increase for their sacrifice is very little to ask but would ease their financial stress & worry

  Although if you're an unpaid carer unable to work and get carers allowance and income support, any increase in carers allowance is clawed back by taking it off your income support.
