Age discrimination to be made illegal
02/07/2008
That's one of the claims being made about the Government's Equality Bill, which was announced in a statement on June 26th by Equalities Secretary Harriet Harman. The new legislation is aimed at tackling "harmful" age discrimination and will not affect benefits for older people, such as free bus travel, or companies, such as Club 18-30 holidays and Saga insurers which offer services to specific age groups.

Benefits
The benefits system provides financial support if you are retired, on low income, care for someone, are ill or have a disability. You may be entitled to receive benefits if you have certain costs to meet because of your personal situation. The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) manages most benefits through Jobcentre Plus offices. Benefits and entitlements for pensioners are dealt with through a network of pension centres which provide a face-to-face service for those who need additional help and support. You can also get advice on council benefits from your local One Stop Centre. Useful websites: www.direct.gov.uk/en/MoneyTaxAndBenefits

Benefits for carers
The benefits system is complex and difficult to understand. It’s very important that you get the proper advice. If you act as a carer for a disabled person for at least 35 hours per week you may be able to claim Carers Allowance. Carers may qualify for this if the person being cared for already receives Attendance Allowance, Constant Attendance Allowance or Disability Living Allowance (DLA).The Carers Allowance is paid to the carer, not the person being cared for, and is intended to financially assist the carer when they are earning below a certain amount.
