Attendance Allowance
What is Attendance Allowance?
Attendance Allowance is a tax-free, non-means-tested government benefit for individuals who have reached State Pension age and require help with daily tasks or personal care.
Because it is entirely independent of income, savings, or existing pensions, eligibility is based purely on a person's needs rather than their financial circumstances.
The benefit provides weekly payments—currently set at either £76.70 or £114.60 per week—giving families predictable, direct funding that can be used flexibly to maintain quality of life.​​
Supporting Independence at Home
The primary aim of Attendance Allowance is to help older adults remain living safely, comfortably, and independently in their own homes for longer.
There are no restrictions on how the funds are spent, making it an ideal resource for arranging essential domestic assistance, home support, or specialised cleaning. By tapping into this entitlement, families can put professional support in place to handle demanding physical tasks around the house, ensuring the home environment remains safe, hygienic, and manageable.
Peace of Mind for Families
For adult children, managing the care of aging parents alongside work and family life can be a delicate balancing act.
Securing Attendance Allowance provides crucial reassurance, knowing your loved ones have dedicated funding to support their daily living needs. Instead of spending visits focusing on heavy housework, cleaning, or administrative maintenance, this extra financial support allows you to rely on trusted professionals—giving you back quality time to spend with your parents while ensuring they retain their dignity and independence.
