## Resource

Unpaid carers are being crushed by debts of over twenty thousand pounds as the government continues to reclaim billions from them — despite promises to fix a broken system. Last year alone, thirty-three million pounds was clawed back from thirty-two thousand carers, many of whom are now drowning in debt because of errors, not negligence. Campaigners and lawmakers are sounding the alarm, comparing it to the Post Office scandal, as the Department for Work and Pensions struggles to deliver real solutions — even as the number of carers in extreme debt keeps rising.
