End the means test for the Carer's Allowance

What this means

• Sinn Féin is a political party that put forward this commitment in its November 2024 general election manifesto.[source]
• The party promised to end the means test for the Carer's Allowance, a payment given to people who look after family members full time.[source]
• Currently, a means test checks a carer's income and assets before they can qualify. Removing it would open the payment to more family carers.[source]
• This commitment falls under disability policy and directly affects unpaid family carers across Ireland who may currently be excluded from support.[source]
• The promise has no stated delivery date and remains at the status of a manifesto pledge, so voters can use it to hold the party to account.[source]
