Please note: as an older person, finding out which benefits you may be entitled to, and the impact they may have on other benefits, is not always straightforward. There is a huge amount of information available about benefits, but this can be overwhelming or confusing. We would always advise you to seek advice from an independent Welfare Rights Officer, who will be able to look at your individual situation and guide you throught the application process.
You can find details of local and citywide organisations that provide independent and free benefits advice on the Newcastle Welfare Rights webpages.
Attendance Allowance is a benefit for those who:
- are physically or mentally ill;
- are disabled and need help with personal care; or
- need to be supervised by someone else.
For example, you might qualify for Attendance Allowance if you need help with dressing, washing yourself or moving around at home.
