CarerWatch are asking for your help.

The General Election is coming and CarerWatch are asking all prospective parliamentary candidates to sign two campaign pledges.

Please help us. Please send the e-mail below to the prospective candidates where you live and ask them to sign. Come and tell us about any replies you get and what they say at the CarerWatch campaign site at - carerwatchdotcom.myfineforum.org/.Come and read there what other candidates are saying.

It’s important for carers and claimants when they vote to know how their new MP and the parties that will form the new government will deal with claimant issues.

Let’s make sure that claimant issues are at the top of the agenda in this General Election.

Suggested e-mail to Prospective Parliamentary Candidates

I am writing to you as my local candidate to ask you if you will support carers and claimants and sign the two statements below.

They are being proposed by CarerWatch which is a group of unpaid family carers. You can see all about them at carerwatch.com/

The first statement concerns carer poverty. After twenty years of promises of better financial support for carers during the boom times carers are still waiting for help. Now it is the bust this situation is becoming desperate.

The second statement concerns ESA. CarerWatch are only asking for protection from 'conditionality' for the most severely and enduringly sick people as they should never have been caught up in these reforms without protection.

You can see the campaigns at -

and I really hope you will sign and support them.
