How Come I Don’t Get Minimum Wage?

I was reading about how the government has raised the minimum wage to something like £5.73 an hour. The reason this article was so interesting to me was because I am paid by the government to look after my father.

In order to get this money from the government I must promise to look after him for at least 35 hours a week. This means I get paid about £2.52 an hour to look after him.

Does not seem fair really does it?
