The latest figures from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) show that at the end of November 2023, nearly 1.6 million older people were receiving additional financial support through Attendance Allowance, including over 140,000 living in Scotland.

The benefit provides either £72.65 (lower rate) or £108.55 (higher rate) each week and as the benefit is usually paid every four weeks, this amounts to either £290.60 or £434.20 every pay period.

How much someone receives depends on the level of support needed and the benefit is designed to help people of State Pension age with daily living expenses which can also help them stay independent in their own home for longer.

The latest statistics also show the percentage of claimants receiving Attendance Allowance by health condition. Overall, some 563,746 (36%) of the 1,571,519 people claiming Attendance Allowance have been given an award of five years or more.
