The latest figures from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) show there were more than 1.7 million people across Great Britain receiving additional financial support through Attendance Allowance at the end of February this year. ‌

The data also indicates 155,210 people living in Scotland are now receiving either £73.90 or £110.40 each week through the tax-free benefit, which is delivered by the DWP and designed to help older people with daily living expenses. ‌

However, many claimants may not be aware there are several changes in circumstances which must be reported to the DWP’s Attendance Allowance helpline on 0800 731 0122 as soon as possible - especially if your condition changes or you go into hospital - as they could affect entitlement or payments. ‌
