Number of older people claiming Attendance Allowance with arthritis from DWP Many more people may be entitled to Attendance Allowance but simply do not know enough about it to make a claim. It is also worth noting that a successful claim for the benefit could also result in a one-off payment for £150 this summer to help with the cost of living.
Who can make a claim? You should consider applying for Attendance Allowance if you have a disability or illness and need help or supervision throughout the day or at times during the night -even if you do not currently get that help.You should also consider applying if you have difficulties with personal tasks, for example if they take you a long time, you experience pain or you need physical help, like a chair to lean on.
It’s tax-free and you'll be exempt from the Benefit Cap so you won't have money taken away from any other benefits. If you'd prefer to do it yourself you can follow the Citizens Advice guide on how to fill in your claim form here . Full details of how to get the application form by post or over the phone can be found on the GOV.UK website here .
