Attendance Allowance is a benefit delivered by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) for people over State Pension age who need help with personal care or supervision because of an illness, disability or mental health condition.
Successful claimants will receive either £60.00 or £89.60 each week depending on the level of care they need because of their health condition, which is paid every four weeks and works out at £240 and £358.40 respectively.
A little extra money can go a long way and you can use it however you like to meet your needs and stay independent in your own home longer - the money doesn’t have to be spent on a carer.
Claiming Attendance Allowance won’t reduce any other income you receive and it’s tax-free. If your claim is successful, you may also be entitled to other benefits including Pension Credit, Housing Benefit or a Council Tax Reduction.
Attendance Allowance is not means-tested so it doesn’t matter how much income and savings you have either.
The latest figures from the DWP show that in February 2021 there were 1.4million people across the UK claiming the benefit, including 124,192 Scots and 3,721 people living abroad in retirement.
You can claim Attendance Allowance if you meet all of the following eligibility requirements:

have needed help for at least six months prior to making a claim (If you’re terminally ill you can make a

LONDON -- “The Magician” by Irish writer Colm Toibin won Britain’s Rathbones Folio Prize for literature on Tuesday.Toibin’s fictionalized account of the life of German writer Thomas Mann beat seven other finalists to the multi-genre 30,000 pound ($40,000) prize, including South African writer Damon Galgut’s Booker Prize-winning novel “The Promise,” Selima Hill’s poetry collection “Men Who Feed Pigeons” and Philip Hoare’s art history book “Albert and the Whale.”Toibin, whose novels include “Brooklyn” and “The Master,” was a previous Folio Prize finalist in 2015 for “Nora Webster” and has been on the Booker Prize shortlist three times.The jury of three other writers — Tessa Hadley, William Atkins and Rachel Long — said they surprised themselves by reaching a unanimous decision. They said Toibin’s book “is such a capacious, generous, ambitious novel, taking in a great sweep of 20th century history yet rooted in the intimate detail of one man’s private life.”Founded in 2013 to rival the prestigious Booker Prize, the Folio is open to fiction, nonfiction and poetry from anywhere in the world published in Britain.
