Carers and those on DLA will get the full percentage increase, but..... wait for it..... if you receive Income Support as well, the "ammount you need to live on" is capped at 1%, so you end up with only 1% more overall as Carer's Allowance is deducted from Income Support.
Smoke and mirrors again.... unless they decide to prevent this
