Inflation vs carer payments

The government has real concerns about inflation…if you’ve got a mortgage you’d be painfully aware that it does need to be brought under control...with interest rates being raised to 7.25 per cent.

It’s not the only area the government is planning to cut – with the gold travel pass for ex MPs also under threat.

But do you think cutting the bonus payment to people who care for the sick and disabled is a harsh - or a necessary measure?

Maybe you’re a carer yourself…how will losing this bonus payment will affect you from day to day?

Maybe you’re paying extra on a home loan and you can appreciate the government doing all it can to bring down inflation. What do you think?
