What this award can also unlock
One of the most under-claimed benefits in the UK.
Hundreds of thousands of people who would qualify never apply, often believing savings or a pension rule them out. They don't — Attendance Allowance ignores income and capital entirely. There's no mobility component, and getting it can also increase Pension Credit or Housing Benefit. If you're unsure, it costs nothing to check with Citizens Advice or Age UK.
