I write about carers.

My hubby had a massive stroke 17 years ago. I have happily cared for his every need as he lost the use of his right side and his speech.

If anything happened to him, I would be left with a basic pension. Hs money would stop. I only get £40 in my own right. I never qualified for carer's money because I had an evening job paying over £40 and when I retired I no longer qualified.

I just want to make a point as one of many carers.
