Attendance Allowance: When pensioners will get the £150 cost of living boost | Personal Finance | Finance

Pensioner households will receive an extra £300 this year to help them cover the rising cost of energy this winter.

Attendance Allowance is one of the most underclaimed DWP benefits with 3.4 million Britons missing out.

This DWP benefit is available to pensioners who have an illness or disability that affects their everyday lives and is worth over £4,000 a year.

Attendance Allowance helps Britons of state pension age and older with extra costs if they have a physical or mental disability or illness severe enough that makes it hard for them to look after themselves. It does not cover mobility needs.
