Give EU carers automatic settled status
At the moment EU citizens who are carers of disabled British citizens have no rights to stay in UK after Brexit. Regardless of how long they have lived in the UK. This needs to be changed! Give all EU carers receiving carers allowance automatic right to live in the UK.
Why is this important?
Should EU carers not get the settled status, what happens to those disabled people? Do they go to care homes? Will the government pay for their care? What will happen to the disabled children, will they be allowed in the carers country ? This is a very important issue that the government has totally ignored. This will affect families with disabled children as well as older generation. Someone who has cared for their husband with Alzheimer's will now have to put him in a care home, someone who has cared for their child with severe disabilities will now have to find alternative carers for their child, tearing families apart and trampleling on their human rights. These disabled people are British citizens whom the government seems to have totally ignored. Who will care for them?
