Attendance Allowance
Many people we have worked with explained to us that they did not feel comfortable attempting to complete the application form on their own. In other cases we work with people who are calling on behalf of loved ones.
Our research suggests that more than 50% of self made Attendance Allowance Applications fail. We have a 100% success rate.
We understand each case is different and we take time to understand every situation, so we are able to submit the most accurate representation of a loved ones or yours life. Our aim is not to rush the application process.
Our service is designed to provide you with personal one on one support as we complete the form for you and with you, working as a team.
You can get Attendance Allowance if you’ve reached State Pension age and the following apply (unless you might have 12 months or less to live):
-
you have a physical disability (including sensory disability, for example blindness), a mental disability (including learning difficulties), or both
-
your disability is severe enough for you to need help caring for yourself or someone to supervise you, for your own or someone else’s safety
-
not get Disability Living Allowance (DLA), Personal Independence Payment (PIP) or Adult Disability Payment (ADP)
If you might have 12 months or less to live
You can get Attendance Allowance more quickly and at the higher rate if a medical professional has said you might have 12 months or less to live. This is sometimes called ‘special rules’.
Payments
Attendance Allowance is paid weekly at 2 different rates - the one you get depends on the level of help you need.
Attendance Allowance is not means-tested - what you earn or how much you have in savings will not affect what you get.
Attendance Allowance rates
Lower rate - £72.65 Frequent help or constant supervision during the day, or supervision at night
Higher rate - £108.55 Help or supervision throughout both day and night, or a medical professional has said you might have 12 months or less to live.
