The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has released new figures showing that nearly 1.6 million older people were receiving extra financial aid through Attendance Allowance as of the end of November 2023.
Attendance Allowance is worth either £72.65 (lower rate) or £108.55 (higher rate) per week. Given that the benefit is usually paid every four weeks, this amounts to either £290.60 or £434.20 each pay period - a total of £5,644.60 over the 2024/25 fiscal year.
The amount received depends on the level of support needed. The benefit is intended to help individuals of State Pension age with daily living costs, which can also assist them in maintaining their independence at home for longer.
It's important to remember that there is no mobility component attached to Attendance Allowance. Attendance Allowance supports individuals with a disability, long-term illness, and mental or physical health conditions - more than 48 conditions are supported through the benefit.
