I agree it is not simple. However, I can tell Mr. Duggan that anytime I have spoken to someone about the carer’s support grant, they talk about the hassle and say it is just not worth doing it. However, when I explain to them that this has implications for their pension, they are very anxious to fill out the form. What I am saying is that tying it in with pension eligibility is probably a way to get more of these applications over the line.
