Attendance Allowance Volunteer

Volunteers visit older people in their homes and talk to them about their needs for support, then complete a claim form on behalf of the older person to apply for Attendance Allowance.

Volunteers need to have the skills to build trust with an older person, to talk tactfully about sensitive issues and to describe the older person's needs in writing on the form.

This is a rewarding role, as we have a high success rate in being awarded the allowance, which can make a real difference to older people's lives.

Full training is provided and the role can be carried out flexibly at times to suit the volunteer.
