People over State Pension age with long-term health issues could get an extra £5,644
Around 10 million people over State Pension age across Great Britain, including 850,000 living in Scotland, are no longer be eligible for Winter Fuel Payments following the UK Government's change to eligibility rules. While the loss of this annual financial help - worth up to £300 - will be felt by so many households this winter, older people with a long-term illness, disability or physical or mental health condition, may be unaware they could be entitled to support through Attendance Allowance.
