Millions of people across the UK could be missing out on £400 payments from the Department for Work and Pensions if they are eligible for Attendance Allowance. This benefit is available to people who have a qualifying medical condition or disability and are above state pension age.
Recipients would also need to require help with day-to-day personal care as a result of their health needs to be eligible. It has been found that Attendance Allowance is one of the DWP's most underclaimed benefits, as around 3.4 million people in the UK are eligible to claim but don't, reports Lancashire Live.
Here is everything that you need to know about Attendance Allowance, including how much it is, who can claim it, and a full list of conditions and disabilities which could make you eligible.
