What is it - 67 quid,

There;s no answer to that. None.

Isn’t there a slightly higher allowance too Velvet …..but I agree they are both rubbish !

I get it - I just got an increase last week - I have the paper in my hand right now - it's £69.70

And that is NOT per person I care for - it's for (and I quote the DWP when I contacted them) "Your out of pocket expenses and not an allowance per person" in my care.

So I am paid £69.70 regardless of how many people in my care - that's my weekly 'wage' for 24hr care = 41p per hour (approx)
