Guide to Completing your Attendance Allowance form
Our comprehensive step-by-step guide will help you to complete each section of your Attendance Allowance form giving you the best chance of being awarded the benefit.
At first glance, the Attendance Allowance (AA) form may seem rather daunting, but try to remember that the decision maker at the Department of Work and Pensions (DWP) needs as much information as possible about the person making the claim to help them decide if they are eligible for AA.
Most decisions about AA claims are based solely on what you say in the claim form, so it’s important you are clear about all the things you can’t do or have trouble with because of your condition. The DWP have a duty to read everything on the form, so even if you tick ‘No’ to a question, you can still add further information in the notes box. It’s important to specify the frequency of any difficulties.
Our step-by-step notes provide guidance on what to include in each section and help you complete your application form thoroughly. Use our guide together with the notes accompanying the application form sent to you by the DWP and the Age UK Attendance Allowance leaflet.
