Attendance allowance

Zulu2

Thank you ,but I feel it may be too late ,he has already sent the form back ,he was too proud to admit that I have to help him at night so he said no I don't need help at night

Get him to do it again. The whole point is to state things as they are on the worst days/nights - not glossing over anything.

Or, would it be possible for you to do it for him? It strikes me that he’s not really capable of understanding what’s required.

I had a chat with DWP the other day about this. If you need help with ‘bodily functions’ several times a day and particularly at night, you should be eligible. I am housebound due to a balance issue ( permanently) but because I can look after myself in the house, I don’t qualify for AA. I can’t go out on my own as I am at risk of falling but AA isn’t for outside issues. It is for needing help with washing, dressing, loo visits etc. I was told if things change to reapply. You can add to the mandatory reconsideration form if the decision hasn’t been made. Good luck!

Thank you so much for the advice

Not too late. Write as much as you can. Take it from his worst day at home.

I don't think its too late. Your best option would be to ring AgeUK and arrange to go in and get them to check your form. They are really helpful (unless you get someone like the young lady I saw who kelp saying "bless" all the time.)

My husband was frustrated at filling in his attendance allowance form and missed a few things out ,can I put them on the mandatory resolution form or is it to late
