Just when you thought the DWP couldn't be any more sh*tty towards unpaid carers than they have been, they've threatened those considering appealing the fines levied against them, that an appeal might open them up to even greater penalties....

This is inhumanity and a compassion bypass that is becoming truly staggering.

Unpaid carers should be cherished & supported not punished - the DWP should be thanking & helping them, not taking them to court!

@ChrisMayLA6 Why are you censoring yourself?

@nini

misguided civility?

@ChrisMayLA6 It's a strange thing to unlearn, having to censor yourself to avoid an algorithm from hiding your posts. Don't worry, still affects many here.
