Carers speak out!

Unpaid Carers

As an unpaid carer caring for my mum with dementia and living with my husband who is a pensioner. We have lost our winter fuel allowance as we are just above the income to receive pension credit. I am unable to work due to my carer role and unable to claim carers allowance as this would effect my mums money. I feel there should be a way to monitor and include families who are doing their role in caring to be able to receive the winter fuel allowance.
