I had criticisms of some of the elements of budget 2024 but one of the measures I welcomed was the increase in the means test thresholds for carer's allowance. Currently, I believe, however, that there is a large scale means test of people on carer's allowance happening which could lead to people being cut off who might then later qualify. Will the Minister comment on that?
