Carers UK is gathering evidence about the financial costs of caring.
We need carers' stories on the extra living costs they face and the impact on their ability to earn.
In
addition, 2013 will see the implementation of many of the Government's
changes to the benefits system - including the start of Personal
Independence Payment and Universal Credit, the benefits cap and changes
to Housing Benefit and support with Council Tax.
In February we
will be launching our second State of Caring survey into carers' lives
but we also need to recruit group of carers who can help us build
detailed personal accounts of the costs they face as a result of caring
and to track the impact of changes to benefits on their families.
This
will help us demonstrate the huge financial pressures carers face and
set out the consequences for carers of the Government's changes and cuts
to the benefits system.
