Chloe Smith, the UK Government’s Minister for Disabled People, Health and Work, explained how people can benefit from claiming certain payments, such as Attendance Allowance.
“Living with a long-term illness or disability can have a profound effect on daily life, both for those with a diagnosis and those who care for them, so it’s vitally important you are receiving all the help you are entitled to.
“Millions of people already receive this support and I would urge anyone who thinks they may be eligible for extra financial help to check online.”
Those looking to apply for Attendance Allowance can so by sending the benefit payment’s claim form by post to the DWP.
