Attendance Allowance Application

Filing a Attendance Allowance application can be a challenging and time-consuming process. Our dedicated service is here to support you every step of the way, ensuring that your form is completed accurately and efficiently. We aim to provide personalised assistance to help you navigate the complexities of the application process and increase your chances of receiving the allowance you deserve.

Attendance Allowance application process

The attendance allowance application process involves completing a detailed form that focuses on how your condition affects your daily life, rather than the diagnosis itself. Applicants must explain the help they need during the day and/or night, even if they currently receive informal support from family or friends. Supporting information, such as medical evidence or care notes, can strengthen the attendance allowance application, although it is not always mandatory. Once submitted, the Department for Work and Pensions will assess the claim and may contact the applicant or their healthcare professionals before making a decision.

If an Attendance Allowance application claim is refused or awarded at a lower rate than expected, the decision can be challenged. The first step is Mandatory Reconsideration, where the Department for Work and Pensions is asked to review its decision based on the existing evidence and any additional information provided. This request must usually be made within one month of the decision notice.

If the outcome remains unchanged, the next stage is a formal appeal to an independent tribunal, where the case is reviewed by a panel that is separate from the DWP. Both stages require clear, structured arguments focused on care needs and relevant evidence. You can request a free, no-obligation quote for Mandatory Reconsideration support or a free, no-obligation quote for drafting an appeal  depending on your circumstances. Please note we do not offer representation.
