The latest figures from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) show that at the end of February this year, there were more than 1.6million people across Great Britain receiving additional financial support through Attendance Allowance.

The data also indicates that nearly 144,000 people living in Scotland are currently receiving either £72.65 or £108.55 each week through the non-means-tested benefit.
