Report changes, or DWP stops Attendance Allowance payments

Attendance Allowance payments, potentially worth up to £441 every four weeks, can be stopped by the Department for Work and Pensions if recipients fail to report changes in their circumstances. This benefit, available to those over state pension age needing extra care due to illness or disability, requires recipients to inform the DWP of changes like hospital stays, changes in condition, or address updates. The amount received depends on the level of care needed. Attendance Allowance is tax-free and not means-tested, potentially increasing other benefits. It cannot be claimed alongside Personal Independence Payment or Disability Living Allowance, and recipients must meet specific eligibility criteria.
