DWP Attendance Allowance rules explained for 1.6 million Brits receiving £434

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

According to the most recent statistics from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), as of the end of May last year, over 1.6 million individuals across Great Britain were receiving additional financial assistance through Attendance Allowance.

Older people who claim this non-means-tested benefit receive either £72.65 or £108.55 per week to help with living expenses.

Attendance Allowance is a tax-free benefit administered by the DWP, aimed at supporting older individuals with daily living expenses, thereby enabling them to maintain their independence in their own homes for a longer period.

Nevertheless, many recipients might be unaware that there are several changes in circumstances that must be promptly reported to the DWP's Attendance Allowance helpline - especially if their condition undergoes any changes, as these could impact their entitlement or payments.
