It’s now 2024 and five weeks ago I used this video to guide me when assisting my Mum to apply. Today she received a letter telling her she has been awarded the full payment. We can’t thank you enough for taking your time in making this video, we would not have been able to get this without your help. In fairness she should have applied a few years ago but was always reluctant until now. Thank you so much, you are changing lives.

Thank you. We watched your video before submitting my husband’s application for Attendance Allowance. We printed off a copy to read it through and prepare ourselves before requesting the form. I rang up on 08/01/2024, the form arrived the next day. My husband’s first payment arrived in his bank on 03/03/2024, he was awarded the higher rate. This will make a big difference to us since our income wasn’t quite covering our out goings. I just want to encourage other people in a similar position to us, just do it! I just want to add that we were not applying under the special rules so his claim was not fast tracked.

Just wanted to say a really big thank you for doing this video. I watched all the way through twice and made lots of notes to help me remember when filling the form in. I applied for attendance allowance 5 years ago and got turned down flat. My condition is exactly the same but I decided after watching your video to try reapplying which I did using all the tips you give. Long story short I submitted my application and 2-weeks later I got an acceptance letter back telling me that I am able to full attendance allowance day and night. Thank you once again and anyone reading this even though this video is about 45 minutes long it is well worth sitting through it and doing your form how exactly as he says. I'm proof that it works a treat. This new amount of money will help me pay for help I really need now.

A very big thank you Stuart, I have been awarded the higher rate of attendance allowance. I really appreciate the emphasis on detailed information you advised upon. I really broke down each and every aspect of my inability to care for myself, how I needed help in all most every aspect of daily life due to my chronic diseases and very poor mobility. I have received payment from early September 2022 to 20th December 2022? It took a long time as It wasn’t possible for various agencies to visit us in the time frame given in which to return the claim forms. Therefore we started logging each day as it occurred. We had to add additional information, probably anA4 sheet for each question. I felt like giving in , but as you said there is no limit as to the extra information you can give to clarify how you personally are affected by your illnesses . I cannot quite believe it. Thanks again. This will help us so much as we have been purchasing equipment/ aids constantly.

Thank you! Went through the form and through the video bit by bit as I progressed from question to question and this video is very helpful, took me a few days to complete. Can't explain how much it helped... Drudging through old forms/letters and so on was a pain and took me ages, medical records, reports and things I thought were lost and you soon discover missed things and stuff people pass off as nothing and in the end of the day it isn't; like the falls and stumbles. Copying all said evidence and making a copy of the finished form for my own records is recommended. In truth, the Q50 extension on information you can add is only that one page (as you stated). I had to make several copies of that, about 11 pages to be added on so for people without scanners or printers also making a 1:1 copy is going to be hard for them, but simple lined paper is great. Now I'd advise people as you stated to apply through the phone if possible as you will get back dated upon being granted the Allowance from the day you ordered the form. Again a thousand thank you!!! Stay safe.

Hi, Carer's Allowance is an Income Benefit so it should not affect your Attendance Allowance payment as it is not Income based. However if you are receiving Pension Credit and get the Severe Disability Premium element added to it (as you get Attendance Allowance) then this could be reduced by the amount claimed in Carers Allowance.

Hi Michael - there is no mobility component for Attendance Allowance / People over 65. If you do not already have DLA/PIP mobility in place before you reach that age then you will not be able to get a mobility payment. It is not a part of Attendance Allowance. That said, if you are struggling with being able to find personal disability specific transport and you are still able to drive it might be worth you speaking with your local SSAFA representative as they may be able to assist with that.

Her spine is curved and she cannot stand upright and needs help with washing, preparing food and lots of other tasks.

If she gets out of bed or is awake for more than 20 minutes at night on the majority of nights, whether you attend to her or not, then she may qualify for the higher rate. There are currently no proposals to change Attendance Allowance and it is very unlikely that it will be included in the forthcoming green paper on benefits expected in the spring. If the above applies to her then I would request an upgrade from Attendance Allowance form as soon as possible.

Hi Kelly, apologies for my delay in responding to you. Unfortunately I am not in a position to help you with this personally but I think it would be a really good idea for me to create a step by step video on how to fill in this form as many people such as yourself find it hard work to fill in. As it is only a short form it wont take me long to do, but due to my other commitments I probably wont be able to get chance to do so this week. That said I will do my very best to squeeze it in and will let you know as soon as it is uploaded. Also it is worth going to your local authority website to see if there are any other organisations local to you that might be able to help you with the form. Most services are over-stretched and have long waiting lists unfortunately, especially at this time of year, but you should not give up.

A lot of words. Why not just say, "if you recieve more than £ xxxxx a month >> forget it".

İf you are over 70 or 75, you have normal health problems such as tinnitus for 30 years and hearing problems, why do you need to explain everything such as begging DWP to describe it painful way fill up 50 questionnaire form. DWP knows nhs number as well as doctors address. Why so hassle at this ages. It is a bit of out of date. I found it ver irritating annoying managing sick people. I think it is a bit disgrace.

@rayandco • 7 min ago Hi I have a relative currently receiving attendance allowance which expires and needs to be reapplied for in approximately 4 months time, where can l obtain a form now not direct from dwp , for example citizens advice etc so I can examine and know what proof of illnesses, medication, doctors notes etc which were asked for previously and give me time to request etc, is there somewhere I can obtain a copy of allowance application form for reference ahead of time, before i ask dwp to send official form nearer time
