If you have a long-term illness or disability and have reached State Pension age, you may be eligible for Attendance Allowance. This benefit supports those who need daily help with personal care or supervision to remain safe. Whether assistance with washing, eating, or having someone watch over you to prevent harm, what counts is the impact your condition has on your daily life, not the condition itself.
