Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, if she will take steps to ensure unpaid carers claiming carers allowance over the retirement age on behalf of a disabled spouse below retirement age continue to receive benefits.

Asked by:
Connor Naismith (Labour)

Answer

I refer the honourable member to the answer I gave on 14 October 2024 to question UIN 6904

As explained in UIN 6904 these rules are based on the circumstances of the carer, not those of the disabled person.
