flag The UK is reviewing 185,000 Carer’s Allowance cases due to overpayments from unclear earnings rules, with debts to be canceled or reduced.

flag The UK's Department for Work and Pensions is reviewing 185,000 Carer’s Allowance cases from 2015 to September 2025 after a review found that unclear rules on earnings led to widespread overpayments. flag Many carers, some working up to 35 hours weekly, were unaware they exceeded the £196 weekly limit, resulting in large, unexpected debts. flag The government will reassess all affected cases, cancel or reduce debts, and refund repayments without requiring individuals to act. flag The changes follow criticism of the system’s "cliff edge" effect and poor communication, with reforms aimed at improving clarity, modernizing data systems, and preventing future errors.
