Carer's Allowance: call for evidence

This call for evidence is aimed at organisations and individuals who have information that is relevant to how Carer’s Allowance could be modernised, including through an earnings taper, the role of the earnings rules and how they operate in practice.

The Review welcomes evidence and insight from individuals and organisations with lived or learned experience, knowledge and expertise. Evidence can take many forms and could include written submissions, existing data or unpublished analysis or reports.

Many homecare workers are in receipt of carers allowance so this may be of interest to your staff and the people in your organisation who manage HR as well as to the families of the people you support. Respond by 18 August 2026.
