CARER'S ALLOWANCE

Early day motion 777, tabled 11 October 2010 by Jim Shannon (DUP). Signed by 34 members.

That this House notes with concern that once a carer reaches pension age they are no longer entitled to claim for carer's allowance despite the fact that they remain the carer; recognises that they remain doing the same duties daily despite their pension; and calls on the Department for Work and Pensions to address this matter urgently.

Signatures by party: Labour 19, DUP 6, Social Democratic and Labour Party 3, Plaid Cymru 2, Alliance 1, Conservative 1, Independent 1, Scottish National Party 1.
