‘Give Me A Break’ highlights the need for educational and professional support for young carers.

It emphasises understanding the challenge of balancing home responsibilities with schoolwork, and the necessity for schools to offer more assistance to prevent them from feeling overwhelmed.

Making it harder to qualify for #PIP.

It was never ever easy, it’s always been so hard.

This will also impact on those caring, as is a qualifying benefit for Carers Allowance.

Therefore, more carers and disabled people going without support.
