超过69个理事会的护理人员减税信息已经过时,多达500万个理事会无法每年提出高达1 000英镑的补贴要求。 Over 69 councils have outdated info on carer tax discounts, blocking up to 5 million from claiming up to £1,000 annually.

个人财务专家Martin Lewis警告说,英格兰和威尔士超过69个理事会对住家照料者理事会的税收折扣有不正确或不明确的信息,可能使多达500万无酬照料者无法要求每年1 000英镑的储蓄。 Personal finance expert Martin Lewis warns that over 69 councils in England and Wales have incorrect or unclear information about the live-in carer council tax discount, potentially preventing up to five million unpaid carers from claiming up to £1,000 in annual savings. 该错误是在MoneySaveviveExpert.com的调查中发现的,源于过时的网站,其中遗漏了新的资格福利,如个人独立支付标准费率和较低的出勤津贴标准。 The error, found in an investigation by MoneySavingExpert.com, stems from outdated websites that omit newer qualifying benefits like the standard rate of Personal Independence Payment and lower rate of Attendance Allowance. 许多理事会也没有明确列出所需福利清单,阻止符合条件的照料者——特别是那些提供35小时以上每周护理的照料者——提出申请。 Many councils also fail to clearly list required benefits, discouraging eligible carers—especially those providing 35+ hours of weekly care—from applying. Lewis敦促受影响的个人重新检查资格,要求提前付款,同时呼吁理事会和政府更新官方网站信息,以确保准确获得这一重要支助。 Lewis urges affected individuals to recheck eligibility and request backdated payments, while calling on councils and the government to update information on official sites to ensure accurate access to this vital support.
