Andrea Tucker, an unpaid carer, is contesting a demand to repay £4,600 in carer's allowance overpayments, having been previously assured she was in compliance with welfare regulations. Her case reflects wider issues around strict carer's allowance rules that have left many in debt, particularly after changes in March 2020 that tightened averaging rules for income. Her local MP, Ed Davey, has intervened, advocating for a review of such policies and for debt waivers while an independent investigation is conducted.
