Unpaid carers' feedback from the State of Caring survey helped us combat the major issue of Carers Allowance overpayments, resulting in action from the Government. Please help support our work by completing the survey for 2026: www.surveymonkey.com/r/8GX7Z5T
Last year, what carers told us in State of Caring helped us to... call for reform of Carer's Allowance overpayments, contributing to Government action to review thousands of cases including of carers in Scotland. Take part in the 2026 survey today!
