One in three #UnpaidCarers already contemplate suicide.
DWP's relentless pursuit of those who've mistakenly claimed #CarersAllowance will only make things worse.
Me in The Guardian, with thanks to Josh Halliday for covering this complex issue.

My The Guardian story (with Matthew Pearce ): Half a million unpaid carers in the UK looking after frail, ill and disabled loved ones are failing to claim the £4,200-a-year carer’s allowance despite experiencing high levels of poverty, estimates show theguardian.com/society/2024/a…
Some bleak Office for National Statistics (ONS) stats on unpaid care. Carers have it worse from a health perspective than non-carers, and the more hours of unpaid care you provide, the worse your health is likely to be compared to non-carers.
This is ABSOLUTELY the best thing we’ve read on #UnpaidCarers overpayments EVER.
Go Laura! 💪
If you’re a comms professional or journalist give it a read and a cheeky retweet / like CharityComms

Whisper it but is Department for Work and Pensions getting rattled by this stream of shocking cases? Well done The Guardian team
'Carers across the UK are unsung heroes who make a huge difference to someone else’s life...'
Department for Work and Pensions FYI: we're not heroes, we have no choice. This is shameful. Thank you Josh Halliday The Guardian for exposing this.
