Attendance Allowance is a crucial financial benefit for pensioners aged 66 and over who require assistance due to a severe disability or health condition. This benefit, administered by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), offers two rates that amount to either 3,842.80 or 5,644 annually. Its eligibility criteria do not consider income or savings, meaning all qualifying individuals can receive the payment. Many eligible pensioners are unaware of this benefit, leading to over a million potentially missing out, as highlighted by money expert Martin Lewis who has campaigned for increased awareness.
