It appears some carers may lose out and others gain so I'm not sure it's fair to imply carers are under attack as a whole. The devil, of course, is in the detail but I doubt very much that HMG would knowingly want to risk large numbers of carers deciding they can no longer do so and that the state will have to take over their role. That's no comfort to anyone who loses out, of course, but no matter where HMG draws the line on such things as tax, welfare entitlement, benefits etc. etc. there will always be some who'll lose out and be justifiably very upset. There'll probably be others who gain and might be very pleased with the changes. Anyway, I think I'll be reserving my judgement on this until I know a bit more about it.
