Attendance Allowance is a tax-free payment from the government for people aged 66 and over.
£76 – £114
per week, tax-free
That's nearly £6,000 a year. And it's not means tested — so it doesn't matter how much you've got in savings or what you get from your pension.
It's not about needing a carer, most people who qualify don't have one. It's about whether you find everyday things harder than you used to.
For example, do any of these take longer, cause difficulty, or mean you've had to adapt how you do them?
☐ Getting washed or dressed.
☐ Getting in or out of bed.
☐ Moving around your home.
☐ Cooking or preparing meals.
☐ Using the toilet.
☐ Getting up at night.
☐ Managing your medication.
☐ Feeling steady on your feet.
If you've noticed any of these getting harder — even slightly — then you may well qualify.

Before we start your application, let's check a few of the main eligibility rules.
Where do you currently live?
Everyday life
Now let's think about everyday life.
Because of your health, are there everyday things that:
take you longer than they used to
cause pain or breathlessness
are difficult
feel less safe
require an aid or adaptation
you avoid doing
or you've simply learned to manage differently?
This still counts even if you live independently and manage everything yourself.

And roughly how long have these difficulties been affecting you?
