Carers allowance stolen by government

I’m owed years of carers allowance and dwp ignore complaints and staff errors. Phone ignored. No staff, no money and no documents. Social prescriber fail. Essex council fail. GP surgeries fail. Icb fail. NHS England fail. Charities, public, hospitals and voluntary services outstanding. Carers allowance is too low and overpayments result in less money. Very unfair. National Insurance credits not done so I paid voluntary national insurance when I didn’t tWeekly payment needed and a better system.
