Independent Age has released a series of videos designed to help older people and their families with the claims process
A charity is calling on older individuals with disabilities or long-term health conditions to check if they qualify for Attendance Allowance. This non-means-tested, tax-free benefit could provide recipients with either £72.65 or £108.55 weekly, depending on the level of care needed. Beneficiaries receive payments from the DWP every four weeks, which amounts to either £290.60 or £434.20.
What exactly is Attendance Allowance? Its designed to help with additional costs if you have a disability, mental or physical health condition that is serious enough that you require aid taking care of yourself - however, it doesn't extend to issues with mobility. You don't need a carer to be eligible for the claim.
