Benefits Attendance Allowance GOV.UK

Free

The Attendance Allowance GOV.UK portal is the official gateway for claiming one of the UK’s most vital disability benefits for seniors.The benefit is designed to help older citizens maintain independence in their own homes. Crucially, eligibility is based entirely on the level of care and supervision a person needs, not their actual medical diagnosis, income, or savings. It is paid at two weekly rates: Lower Rate (£76.70): For people who need frequent help or constant supervision during either the day or the night. Higher Rate (£114.60): For those needing help through both day and night, or for individuals who are terminally ill. Receiving Attendance Allowance does not reduce other income; instead, a successful claim often opens access to increased local welfare top-ups like Pension Credit, Council Tax Reduction, or Housing Benefit.
