Great news for some unpaid carers...
The Budget, announced today, brings a positive change that acknowledges the hard work and dedication of some of those who support loved ones at home. Starting in April 2025, the earnings limit for Carer’s Allowance will rise from £151 to £196 per week. This means that more unpaid carers will be able to access to this benefit, which currently provides £81.90 each week.
The Chancellor, Rt Hon Rachel Reeves, announced that the increase is expected to help around 60,000 additional carers claim the support they deserve by 2030. It's a much-needed boost for some carers. This is a step in the right direction towards supporting the incredible individuals who give so much of themselves to care for others.
