On the Government’s website, the DWP emphasises that someone is eligible for this support if they “have a physical disability, a mental disability (including learning difficulties), or both”.
As such, someone’s circumstances could affect how much they are eligible to claim from the DWP.
How much money someone gets from Attendance Allowance is dependent on the “severity” of their condition, according to the Government department.
Queries over claims or reporting changes can be made by calling the Attendance Allowance helpline at 0800 731 0122.
