Scottish Carer's Assistance - New Full-Time Education Rules

Question Title

* 1. Carers who currently study for more than 21 hours per week cannot get Carer's Allowance. The Scottish Government is proposing changing this to allow carers who study full-time to access the new Carer's Assistance Payment that will replace Carer's Allowance in Scotland.

This will support carers in full-time education financially and also allow more carers to take up the option to study on a full-time basis.

Do you agree or disagree with the change that carers in full-time education will be able to get Scottish Carer's Assistance?
