Those who are forced to care for a loved and whom are retired ,entitled and receiving their state pension , are excluded from receiving Carers Allowance because the Government deem the State Pension as a benefit ,even though most paid for it through working anyway, Thus it cannot be classed as a benefit at all.
Men and women already classed as retired , are being left to care for their loved ones without any physical or financial support.

We need a Carers Allowance paid to all adult Carers ,free of tax and or income assessment as with PIPS . I have listed it on my late wife's web site www.carersassociation.info and where they can read her story while joining the Government Petition. There is also a link to Carers Statistics which shows that almost 1.5 million Carers are not receiving Carers Allowance, purely because they receive a state pension.

Carers are becoming more unhealthy ,even dying because they have no support.
I myself suffered a stroke and several Tia's ,have MS ,diabetes,severely damaged hip, high blood pressure and having also suffered Bells Palsy. Have been left to take care of my sick wife without any support both physical or financial.

Please help me to help those Carers whom are being left to die.

I ask the public to demand the Government make sure that all those currently classed as retired and whom become Carers through no fault of their own, must be financially paid free of tax as with PIPS and supported physically at home and respite by the relevant health authorities.

Currently many are becoming sick or even dying because there is no help for them.
Please sign to make the Government provide the physical and financial support and not discriminate against the retired who are forced to become Carers.
