Around 3.4million UK residents could be eligible for a Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) benefit, yet they aren't claiming it.
Attendance Allowance is a DWP benefit currently given to those over the state pension age if they have certain health conditions or ailments.
The Government stated that the benefit itself is designed to help parties with additional costs which arise through having long-term health conditions - with the likes of arthritis, heart disease and mental health issues all falling under the bracket among others.
