Yes they should be given more.. but thats just for starters.. I know of old people that care for their partners 24/7 but don't get a penny because of the regulations..some may say it's just a part of family life that you look after your own.. but it puts extra strain on pensioners...I suspect that because the system is sometimes abused by people who don't really care for the people they cliam for, it is a benefit that is put on the back burner, i.e not seen as a a big issue by any Goverment.. but that is no reason for it to be as low as it is.
