Amend the 28-day rule for the Carer’s Allowance for carers giving hospital care
Amend the Carer’s Allowance rules so unpaid carers continue to be paid their allowance after 28 days if they are still providing essential care in the hospital and require NHS trusts to confirm in writing when they cannot meet a patient’s needs and when an unpaid carer must stay and provide care.
