UK carers miss out on Pension Credit due to confusing system, Carers UK reports.

Thousands of older carers in the UK are missing out on Pension Credit due to a complex system. A survey found that 75% of older carers were unaware that applying for Carer's Allowance could help them qualify for Pension Credit. Carers UK is calling for the government to simplify the application process, increase the Carer's Allowance, and introduce a payment recognizing older carers' contributions.
