Carers and Carers trap DWP

People who care for their loved ones save the UK state millions.

Unpaid, ofter frail themselves, they care compassionately for parents, siblings, at great cost to their own health, sanity and well being.

Additionally, they are allowed (!!!) to work up to a very strict earning limit. Above this, even by a penny, the DWP claims back the whole weeks allowance. Often, unwittingly, cares earn way above the annual limit, and are convicted of fraud, jailed, or forced to repay typically £10-50k
