This Government recognises and values the vital contribution made by carers in supporting some of the most vulnerable in society.<\/p>
<\/p>
The information requested on the cost to the public purse of increasing the rate of Carer\u2019s Allowance to that of Jobseeker\u2019s Allowance is not available but an indicative cost can be calculated using data published on StatXplore and gov.uk.<\/p>
<\/p>
The current rate of Jobseeker\u2019s Allowance for those aged 25 and over is £73.10. The difference between this and the rate of Carer\u2019s Allowance (currently £66.15 a week) is £6.95. As of November 2018, there were approximately 780,000 claimants receiving Carer\u2019s Allowance in England and Wales. Thus, paying an additional £6.95 a week to carers in England and Wales would cost in the region of £280m a year. Carer\u2019s Allowance has been devolved to the Scottish Government since September 2018 and is delivered in Scotland by DWP for an interim period under an Agency Agreement.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Government also provides targeted financial support for carers on low incomes through income-related benefits such as Universal Credit, Pension Credit and Income Support. In April 2019, the additional amount for carers in receipt of Pension Credit and Income Support increased to £36.85 a week. The Universal Credit carer element increased to £160.20 per monthly assessment period. Universal Credit also adjusts to fluctuating earnings and periods when paid employment is not feasible, for example due to caring responsibilities. The Government is committed to helping carers balance providing care with their own paid employment where this is possible, as indicated in the Carers Action Plan.<\/p>"}

Alongside this, BEIS supports hydrogen storage innovation through the government\u2019s £505 million Energy Innovation Programme. Within this Programme, BEIS is running a Storage at Scale competition which will provide up to £20 million to support demonstration projects using innovative energy storage technologies, including storing hydrogen produced by electricity.
