How does the carer allowance change?
The Budget will allow carers to earn above the current weekly limit without losing their whole allowance. Previously, exceeding the threshold by even a small amount meant losing the entire benefit. This change aims to provide more flexibility and reduce the cliff-edge effect, allowing carers to take on more work without being penalised.
