These benefits can be paid to carers at a higher rate than those without caring responsibilities through the carer premium or the equivalent additional amount for carers respectively.</p> answering member constituency Truro and Falmouth answering member printed Sarah Newton question first answered 28/02/2019 10:30:40 answering member 4071 label Biography information for Sarah Newton
