Our dedicated team in Huntingdonshire provides confidential support to help you navigate the benefits system. We can assist you with:
Attendance Allowance
Attendance Allowance is money for people aged 65 or over who have care needs. You may have care needs if you need help with activities of daily living such as getting dressed, going to the toilet or having someone to look after you so you do not hurt yourself.
You can have any type of disability or illness, including sight or hearing impairments, or mental health issues such as dementia.
Attendance Allowance does not cover mobility needs.
To claim Attendance Allowance you must have needed help with your care needs for at least 6 months, but if you’re terminally ill you can make a claim straight away.
Personal Independence Payment
Personal Independence Payment (PIP) is money for people who have extra care needs or mobility needs (difficulty getting around) as a result of a disability.
PIP replaces Disability Living Allowance for people aged 16-64.
Employment Support Allowance
Employment and Support Allowance is money for people who have limited capability for work because of their sickness or disability but do not get Statutory Sick Pay.
There are two types:
- income-related Employment and Support Allowance
- contributory Employment and Support Allowance
Enhanced Support
