    I’m a carer  for a disabled person, they should get all the extra payments, I glad they will.
    On a personal note, I get carers allowance only 41p an hour for a 168 hour week.
    I will get nothing, is that right or fair.
    NO, but that’s the way it is.

    Not true. You will get the £150 cost of living payment for your PIP award that you just mentioned in the PIP renewal thread.

    I think that was for the person they care for.
