Pensioners born before 1959 can claim up to £5,644 yearly in Attendance Allowance, a little-known benefit.

State pensioners born before 1959 may qualify for a little-known benefit called Attendance Allowance, offering up to £5,644 extra per year. This tax-free benefit helps those with disabilities needing additional care. Only 69% of eligible individuals claim it, leaving many missing out on crucial support. The allowance is paid weekly in two rates, depending on care needs, and can help increase other benefits like Pension Credit or Housing Benefit.
