Emeritus Prof Christopher MaySo the DWP have been at it again, stopping carers' allowance earlier than mandated when a serious ill child was in hospital for just over two weeks.Indeed, the fact that all payments are intended to halt after a month of hospitalisation on the grounds the carers' role has been taken up by the NHS also flies in the face of what we know about the overstretched NHS.Its time to take unpaid carers' role seriously & stop sh*tting on them from above!<a href="https://zirk.us/tags/carers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#carers</a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/politics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#politics</a> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/society/2025/feb/27/mother-had-carers-allowance-stopped-while-with-disabled-daughter-in-leeds-hospital" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.theguardian.com/society/2025/feb/27/mother-had-carers-allowance-stopped-while-with-disabled-daughter-in-leeds-hospital</a>

Emeritus Prof Christopher MayAndrea Tucker (an unpaid carer) is seeing the DWP in court to argue her treatment over (supposed) over-payments of carers allowance are unjust & nonsensical.This case will clearly show how the Govt. is going to deal with the callous conduct of the DWP towards unpaid carers - will they lavish millions won expensive lawyers to defend the DWPs actions, or will they admit the mistakes & require the DWP to end this abuse of carers....

Emeritus Prof Christopher MayYou will not be surprised that the DWP is trying to block those staff who know the details of how the carers' allowance system works (and has been used to punish carers) are being 'discouraged' from giving evidence to the review of the DWP's conduct towards those carers who had marginally gone beyond income allowances.Once again the callousness & desire to avoid scrutiny endemic across our governing institutions is on show!<a href="https://zirk.us/tags/carers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#carers</a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/politics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#politics</a> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2025/feb/03/dwp-blocked-whistleblower-giving-evidence-to-carers-allowance-review" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2025/feb/03/dwp-blocked-whistleblower-giving-evidence-to-carers-allowance-review</a>

MikeFor no good reason I was thinking about our daughter's long stay in the psychiatric hospital.There were a lot of patients on the ward (possibly about 2/3) who never got any visitors. Where were their families, spouses, parents, children? Not to mention freinds?The ward staff were delighted that our daughter had visits and support from her parents, brother, neices and work-collegues - she was certainly the exception among the patients. I like to think that our support helped in her recovery, I definitely think it made her stay there more bearable.If you know of someone receiving long term hospital care - psychiatric or otherwise - please don't abandon them. Make an effort. It won't always be easy, but doing good isn't always the easy road.<a href="https://cupoftea.social/tags/MentalHealth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MentalHealth</a> <a href="https://cupoftea.social/tags/hospitals" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hospitals</a> <a href="https://cupoftea.social/tags/Carers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Carers</a>
