Attendance Allowance helps with extra costs if you have a disability severe enough that you need someone to help look after you.
Attendance Allowance is paid at 2 different rates and how much you get depends on the level of care that you need because of your disability.
How much is Attendance Allowance?
You could get £61.85 or £92.40 a week to help with personal support if you’re both:
- physically or mentally disabled
- State Pension age or older
It does not cover mobility needs.
