Britons risk losing payments; report changes to DWP

Nearly 1.7 million Britons receiving Attendance Allowance must inform the Department for Work and Pensions of any changes to their circumstances or risk losing their £441 monthly payments. Recipients of the tax-free benefit must report changes like health condition alterations, hospitalizations, or changes to their address or bank details to avoid payment suspensions. Failure to report changes could lead to court action or penalties. Attendance Allowance helps older citizens with daily living costs. The DWP advises contacting their helpline with any uncertainty about how a change affects the benefit.
