Indignity pay - carer's allowance is insultingly low

Jan
09/06/2022

My only income is carer's allowance of £69.70 per week and for everything else I sponge off my family. It's so undignified. I care full time. In social situations other people class me as "not working" or a kept woman. It's shameful.
