What is Attendance Allowance?

Attendance Allowance is a tax-free benefit for people over State Pension age who need help with personal care or supervision due to illness or disability. It is not means-tested – your income or savings do not affect eligibility.

  • 2025/26 rates: Lower £73.90/week (£3,843/year) • Higher £110.40/week (£5,741/year)
  • Eligibility basics: Over State Pension age, needs for 6+ months, UK resident, not receiving PIP/DLA daily living.
  • Common help needed: Washing, dressing, eating, medication, toilet, or supervision to stay safe (day/night).
  • Backdating: Often possible for months.
  • Special rules: Faster process if terminally ill.

Success-based fee from £99 only if you win (often covered by backpayments).
