Pensioners with these health issues could be due up to £458 each month. Under Department for Work and Pensions ( DWP ) inflationary increases, the payment rates for Attendance Allowance will rise in the spring.

The Attendance Allowance and Pension Age Disability Payment (PADP) are paid separately from the State Pension and can provide additional financial support for older people with a disability, long-term illness, or physical or mental health condition.

These benefits, which are not means-tested, are worth either £73.90 for the lower rate or £110.40 for the higher rate each week. As these benefits are usually paid every four weeks, this amounts to either £295.60 or £441.60 every payment period.
