Fewer people in Northumberland claim Attendance Allowance compared to other parts of the country. Alnwick & District Citizens Advice Bureau (CAB) would like to see everyone getting the allowances that they are entitled to.
Attendance Allowance is for people over 65. It is awarded because of problems you may have because of an illness or disability. It is not affected by your income or your savings in any way. It could give you another £47.80 per week or even £71.40 per week if you have problems because of your illness during the night as well as during the day.
Anyone who would like to know more about this entitlement should contact Mary or Graham at Alnwick & District CAB on 01665 604135. There is no harm in asking!
