More info1,859,539 people across the UK claim Attendance Allowance, a disability benefit made specifically for people over the state pension age who need supervision or assistance due to their health. In total, there are 57 conditions listed as of February 2025 when the latest data from the benefit was published by the government. Currently, Attendance Allowance offers two different rates depending on how much support or supervision a claimant needs. However, if they do have a carer, then claiming Attendance Allowance could entitle the carer to Carer’s Allowance as well, depending on their circumstances. Attendance Allowance also opens the gates for people to potentially get extra Pension Credit, Housing Benefit or a Council Tax Reduction.
