Attendance Allowance is a financial benefit provided by the government in the UK to help individuals aged 65 and over who have a disability or health condition that requires them to need help with personal care. This allowance is not means-tested, meaning it is available regardless of income or savings, and can be used to cover costs associated with care needs.
To qualify for Attendance Allowance, applicants must demonstrate that they require assistance with daily living activities, such as bathing, dressing, or eating. The amount received depends on the level of care needed, with higher rates for those who need more extensive support.
