Support for carers

It is great to see so much in the media about people not being able to live on the £94.25 a week SSP during this crisis, with MP’s agreeing and supporting this.
But what about us full time carers that have to live on £66.15 a week while looking after the most vulnerable.
Please can someone point this out those in power.
what do others think?

    Not sure what you want people to do on an internet forum.
  • Enlighten others and discuss the issue, is that not what a forum is about?

    Carers payments have been discussed before. CV doesn't really change anything, they same way that it won't affect SSP levels
