It is also bizarre that a Carer's private pensions do not count as income, so Carers Allowance continues, but as soon as they get the State Pension, it is stopped due to a DWP rule about "overlapping benefits".

Since when is the State Pension a "Benefit"?

I missed out on the £500 "thankyou" payment for Carers in Wales due to this. By 2 weeks!
