People over State Pension age with long-term health issues could be due up to £1,319 each month
More than 1.5million older people claiming Attendance Allowance are set for a significant income boost over the coming months now that the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) have applied the annual uprating to both the State Pension and the disability benefit.
People on Attendance Allowance will receive either £72.65 or £108.55 each week during the 2024/25 financial year, depending on the level of support they need.
The full, New State Pension is now worth £221.20 each week (£884.80 every 4-week pay period) and the Basic State Pension up to £169.50 (£678 every 4-week pay period) - how much you are paid depends on the amount of National Insurance contributions made.
While Attendance Allowance and the State Pension are paid separately, the uprating means that someone in receipt of the full New State Pension and the higher rate of Attendance Allowance will be due £1,319 every four weeks.
