flag Over 1.1 million UK pensioners may miss out on £5.2 billion in annual Attendance Allowance due to eligibility confusion.

flag Over 1.7 million UK pensioners are receiving Attendance Allowance, a weekly benefit of £73.90 or £110.40 for those with long-term disabilities or health conditions, but an estimated 1.1 million may be missing out on up to £5.2 billion in annual support due to confusion about eligibility. flag The benefit, not means-tested and based on care needs, is available to those at State Pension age who live in Great Britain, with exceptions for refugees and armed forces members. flag It cannot be claimed with other disability benefits like Personal Independence Payment, and in Scotland, applicants must apply for Pension Age Disability Payment instead.
