How it works

Help your mum or dad claim up to £114.60 a week

Attendance Allowance is for people over State Pension age who need help day to day, and it isn’t means-tested. You can claim it free at GOV.UK. If you’d like help, talk it through with us in about 30 minutes and we’ll turn it into a clear, honest claim. You check every word and send it yourself.

Check if they could get it, free

£49 once if you go ahead, or £89 for both parents. No success fee. The check and your first section are free.

Example

Does your mum need help getting out of bed or going to bed?
Most days
She can’t swing her legs round on her own. I have to pull her up most mornings, and she gets dizzy.

How we’d put it, in her words, for the form

I need help with getting in and out of bed most days. On a typical day: I can't swing my legs round on my own. My daughter has to pull me up most mornings, and I get dizzy.

Highlighted words come from the answer. Nothing is added.

Why families use us

  • It isn’t means-tested. Savings, pension and the house don’t count, so many families who assume they can’t claim, can.
  • Answers that undersell real needs are a common reason claims are refused. We help you describe typical days and hard days properly, without exaggerating.
  • Each parent claims in their own name, and both can get it: up to £229.20 a week between them. We do both for £89.
  • Some claims firms charge over £1,000 or take a cut of the award. We charge £49, once.
You don’t have to pay anyone to claim Attendance Allowance. You can apply free at GOV.UK. If you’d like help getting it right, we’re here.

Prototype. No payment is taken. If you send your answers, Graeme reads them to test the service, so please don’t use real details.
