Abolish the Carer's Allowance means test

What this means

• People Before Profit promised in their 2024 general election manifesto to abolish the means test for the Carer's Allowance.[source]
• Currently, carers must pass a means test to qualify for the Carer's Allowance. This commitment would remove that financial barrier.[source]
• The party also committed to paying carers a Living Wage, which would raise the income of people providing unpaid care work.[source]
• This commitment falls under disability policy and directly affects unpaid carers across Ireland who support family members or others.[source]
• The promise was first stated on 14 November 2024 and remains at the promised stage, with no confirmed delivery date set.[source]
