DWP Attendance Allowance warning for people at risk of losing £434 payments

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

Some older people could be at risk of losing out on £434 in Attendance Allowance payments if they don't pay attention to rules they must follow.

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has released new figures showing that as of the end of May last year, over 1.6 million people across Great Britain were receiving additional financial support through Attendance Allowance.

Attendance Allowance is a tax-free benefit provided by the DWP to assist older people with daily living expenses. It could potentially help them maintain independence in their own homes for longer.

However, it's crucial that claimants understand that any changes in circumstances must be reported to the DWP's Attendance Allowance helpline on 0800 731 0122 immediately, particularly if their condition alters, as this could impact entitlements or payments.
