Ms Smith said: “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.

On its website, Age UK offers advice to claimants of Attendance Allowance and has a list of common “myths” associated with the benefit payment, which the organisation goes on to dismiss.
In response to someone’s claim being turned down, Age UK states: “Your circumstances may have changed since the last time you applied, especially if it was a while ago. If your care needs have increased, you may find you’re now eligible.”
