Dear Maria Miller

I run a Carers Group of Carers UK Birmingham Branch and I am receiving several calls per day regarding the risk if losing DLA and Carers Allowance Carers are worried because they are on the breadline now and with food and fuel cost going up it is not helping we are stressed enough caring. You the government should not be making cuts of £!billion to disability benefits because of the divesting consequences it would have for carers I also think that the Carers Allowance should remain outside of the Universal Credit We carers save government 87billion a year and you would take away carers recognition of the work they do 24 7

CARERS NEED RESPECT AND A BIG THANK YOU, FROM GOVERNMENT YOU COULD DO THIS BY NOT CUTTING DLA
