I am still waiting for more details so the rest of us can discuss this properly to try to get to the bottom of this worrying move.

Thus far, it's believed that this is an attempt by the Government to cut down on fraudulant claims for Carers Allowance and associated benefits.

If this is indeed the case, they should be open and honest about this Orwellian move and let the electorate decide if this is acceptable or not.

It is fair to say that some people actually resent carers, Marty once complained that a neighbour of his was sunbathing whilst his disabled child was at school!

My response was to say that I would bet my life that this parent would gladly swap every penny of his weekly £62.10 Carers Allowance in return for a fit and healthy child. I've not yet met a parent who wouldn't.
What are you wittering on about. The link you gave says what it's about. Click on the "Home" tab and look at the bottom. They facilitate various research projects. 2 are mentioned, one for OFGEM and the other for the DWP.

It says that the meeting was about the carers self-employment journey. It is NOT about the claims of individuals, it is about trying to IMPROVE things for ALL claimants.

The @carersDWP User Research @TalkingShopMCR going well so far. Some great insights already around breaks in care.
How is any of that vaguely sinister?
