Susan in congleton, for you it isnt a matter of waiting and giving them the benefit of the doubt. Remind us of your situation, susan. Benefit of the doubt. Remind us of yoursituation, susan. Im of your situation, susan. Im speaking of your situation, susan. Im speaking on of your situation, susan. In speaking on behalf of all of the many carers who are caring for their Loved Ones at home. My for their Loved Ones at home. My husband wanted to be at home. We brought him out of hospital and he is in a hospital and he is in a Hospital Bed in the lounge. He has an Oxygen Machine keeping him alive, he has an electric Bed Charger on all the time for the hoist. He is also son downing dementia so hes awake all night and the lights are on all night and the lights are on all night and the lights are on all night as well. My Heating Bill is enormous and also the power. The power that is going out of this home just to keep him comfortable and safe and comfortable is horrendous. The allowance is not means tested, it was brought in and based on need. So my argument is Heating And Powerfor somebody in need like this is a medical need. I want to ask your adviser, can you advise me what i should economise on . Should it be the oxygen, should it be the electric bed . Should it be his diet . Should it be the lighting all night to keep him happy . Should you be in a room with Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves and Angela Rayner and others, what would yOu Say . I and Angela Rayner and others, what would yOu Say . And Angela Rayner and others, what would yOu Say . I would ask him, ou what would yOu Say . I would ask him, you tell what would yOu Say . I would ask him, you Tell Me what would yOu Say . I would ask him, you Tell Me what what would yOu Say . I would ask him, you Tell Me what i what would yOu Say . I would ask him, you Tell Me what i can him, you Tell Me what i can economise on. We dont have Pension Credit, we are one of the many a few pounds over, and i mean a few pounds. The Social Worker advised me there is nothing there for us. Im just saying im saving the country a lot of money caring for my husband which is what we want to do. I dont get the Carer Allowance because i have the State Pension. It isnt a full one but its enough to get me away from any care allowance. The Attendance Allowance is taken away from us because it goes towards the carers coming in plus more money will have to pay towards it. Im not complaining because this is the life we want. The last weeks or months we have together this is our choice. But please, let my husband have the last weeks or months in some degree of Comfort And Dignity by this government. I Comfort And Dignity by this government. Comfort and dignity by this government. I think the Point Ou government. I think the point you make government. I think the point you make about government. I think the point you make about so government. I think the point you make about so many government. I think the point i you make about so many home carers, people caring for their Loved Ones, and in effect saving the State Money is a point well made and its a point well made and its a point a lot of people do make, and thank you, susan.
