People on State Pension with these conditions could get extra £434 a month

People of State Pension age who live with a number of heart conditions could receive hundreds of pounds a month in extra financial support.

Attendance Allowance payments are either £72.65 or £108.55 per week - or £290.60 or £434.20 every four-week pay period. The benefit is intended to assist older individuals with additional daily living costs, enabling them to remain in their own homes for a longer period.

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) offers support for a variety of health conditions via Attendance Allowance, with over 118,000 people currently receiving payments to help manage heart-related issues such as angina, coronary heart disease, arrhythmia, and high blood pressure.

Angina is characterised by chest pain due to reduced blood flow to the heart muscles. While not typically life-threatening, it serves as a warning sign of potential risk for a heart attack or stroke.
