“Outstanding service from Team Silverwings everyone so genuinely helpful I can’t recommend this Company more highly… Thank you again Silverwings Benefits With my warmest wishes to you all Maxine Kallenberg 🙏”
It is with enormous heartfelt gratitude that I must thank The wonderful Tony Ainsley for helping to change my life! It was through Tony’s help, guidance and coupled with a sense of humour when going through the forms that I was granted The Personal Attendance Allowance.

“Silver wings have literally changed my…”
Silver wings have literally changed my life. I was diagnosed with asthma over 35 years ago and unfortunately I caught covid in April 2020, prior to the vaccinations and it has had a detrimental effect on my asthma. I have also been diagnosed with osteoarthritis. I applied on line and was given an appointment. A member of their team, Tony, called me and we completed my form. He was very patient, friendly and understanding. He is a credit to Silver wings. I heard within 6 weeks that I had been successful. I cannot thank them enough, as my day to day life now is so more manageable and fulfilling. Thank you “Tony” and the Silver Wings team!

“It is with grateful pleasure that I…”
It is with grateful pleasure that I commend Paige and Tony from Silver Wings for their care and professionalism over the last two weeks. I was initially contacted by Paige who explained the process precisely and simply. My (many) questions were answered clearly and concisely and with unending patience. Today I had a call from Tony. Together he and I completed the epic application form required for Attendance Allowance. He showed enormous compassion when asking personal questions about my current predicament. Without Tony’s reassurance and endeavour I’m not sure I would have managed the onerous task alone.

“Found silver wings by chance and thank…”
Found silver wings by chance and thank the lucky stars we did. They explained the application in easy to comprehend terms, all sailed through with just over an hour phone call from them to guide us through the process. Although we answered honestly we thought the chances of being offered attendance allowance wouldn’t be feasible, but to our amazement all successful... yes we did pay a small percentage to them, they made our life sweeter but unexpectedly, thank you!!!

Sean helped my dad Azad with his application and was very patient and understanding. The process was smooth sailing, got the form filled and we are confident with what the process is now.
Why So Many Self-Applications Don’t Succeed
The Attendance Allowance form is detailed, and many applicants find it genuinely difficult to describe exactly how their condition affects their day-to-day life — that’s often where an application falls down.

We Do It All For You — Even the Benefits You Didn't Know Existed
Our technology detects your award and checks your eligibility for Pension Credit and Council Tax reduction — you don't lift a finger. No forms, no research, no stress.
Attendance Allowance
Up to £5,959 per year
Tax-free, not means-tested. The benefit that unlocks everything else.
Pension Credit
£80 - £150+ per month extra
Receiving AA can qualify you for Pension Credit top-ups you didn't know you were entitled to.
Council Tax Rebate
£500 - £2,000+ per year saved
Many councils offer discounts or exemptions once you're receiving certain benefits.
One appointment could unlock £600+ per month — Attendance Allowance, Pension Credit and Council Tax savings combined
Where you have online banking and have signed up for free with our trusted open banking partner, Plaid, our technology can detect when your award lands and automatically check your eligibility for Pension Credit and Council Tax savings — the check is always free. If you qualify and want us to apply on your behalf, that carries the same fee, payable only on success and only with your recorded consent.
Founded by Someone Who’s Been There

My dad was rejected when he applied alone. Once I helped him, we succeeded. That moment showed me just how many people were missing out — and why I started Silverwings.
I helped him reapply, and this time we succeeded. The 30‑page form was challenging even for me — I could see why so many people struggle with it.
After helping a few more family friends with their applications, I discovered something shocking: 59% of new disability benefit claims are disallowed nationally.
I also realised that many people over 67 don’t even know Attendance Allowance exists. Part of what we do at Silverwings is raising awareness — making sure people know about the support they’re entitled to.
Since launching in October 2023, we’ve helped over 1,000 people get what’s rightfully theirs. Every successful application means another person getting the support they deserve — and that’s what gets me out of bed in the morning.
Based in Newcastle, we’re proud to bring the warmth and community spirit of the North East to everything we do. We treat every client like family — because that’s the Geordie way.
