Attendance Allowance is provided for those over the state pension age with a long term disability or condition that means they require extra assistance. Successful applicants can receive
between £60 and £89.60 per week depending on the type and frequency of supervision they require. Like with PIP, the Attendance Allowance application process has a low success rate mainly
due to claimants accidentally withholding information. Age UK shared that applications could be turned down as claimants aren’t descriptive or don’t mention the impact of their illness or
disability.
