Speaking as one of the 134,000 unpaid carers paying back DWP fuck ups and ensuring that their loved ones continue to enjoy at least a stable standard of physical and psychological welfare, it would be freaking great if the government would get off our backs.
Actual employment status would be good too, but I guess it would have to be self-employed or subject to regulation for it to work.
Addendum; immediate downvoter monkey detected. Perhaps they have a problem with us calling ourselves unpaid carers as opposed to voluntary personal assistants.
Unpaid carers deserve a lot more, financially, socially etc. They are doing so much to help for no reward. Though you could argue the motivation of family bonds is reward enough.
