With the cost of living crisis affecting households across the UK, the rising prices of everyday essentials have left many low-income families struggling to make ends meet.
Those being hit hardest by the climbing costs are being urged to check what help is out there - and some could be missing out on lifeline payments each month. One of these payments is Attendance Allowance, which is paid to help with extra costs for those with disabilities that require someone to help look after them.
If you’re of State Pension age, which is currently 66, or older and receive help at home due to a disability, you could be eligible to receive up to £370 per month. But Attendance Allowance is the most underclaimed benefit from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) with eligible people missing out, reports The Express .
