The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has released new figures showing that as of the end of February 2024, approximately 1.7 million elderly individuals were claiming Attendance Allowance.
It's worth noting that while payments may be paused for those in hospital or care homes, their entitlement remains unaffected.
The Attendance Allowance, which is either £72.65 (lower rate) or £108.55 (higher rate) per week, equates to either £290.60 or £434.20 every four weeks - a total of around £5,644.60 over the 2024/25 fiscal year.
The amount received depends on the level of support required and the benefit is intended to assist people of State Pension age with daily living costs, potentially enabling them to maintain independence in their own home for longer.
