      The health and social care system would collapse without unpaid carers. The amount of care they provide is staggering. As with so many things DWP handle, why treat people like this? It’s either gross incompetence all round (which isn’t a great look) or malicious and deliberate to put people off asking for any state assistance at all (also not a great look).

      “Although many carers had earned just a few pence over the weekly limit, overpayments were inflated by harsh “cliff edge” benefit rules whereby any breach of the weekly earnings limit resulted in the loss of the entire benefit. This meant a £1 breach over 52 weeks would result in a demand not for £52 but £4,332.”

      What a way to treat people.
