[QUOTE="JanieMc, post: 336153, member: 52138"] Hi SMaynard. Thanks for your detailed perspective there. It was a seriously dedicated post. Clearly, if you are unable to work because of caring for your child then there is every justification for the DLA. What about those who have not had to give up work though - how does the allowance help. Again, I'm not trying to be antagonistic, but I just don't get it. I'm aware of when it was introduced. What strikes me is that someone somewhere in government thought it was justifiable so I'm wondering about the reasons for that. As a carers allowance ( which is really what you're describing) it makes good sense. But under what other conditions (if loss of a wage wasn't an issue) would someone qualify? [/QUOTE]
