‘Latest official figures show more than 134,500 unpaid carers are paying back more than £251m after unwittingly falling foul of drastic “cliff-edge” rules on earnings limits.
This means a carer who earned £1 more than the current £151 a week threshold for 52 weeks would have to pay back not £52 but £4,258.80.’
No level legal playing field in UK terms of richest and poorest.
