Attendance Allowance Quarterly Statistics: August 2004
Attendance Allowance
Attendance Allowance (AA) is a benefit for people who are so severely disabled, physically or mentally, that they need someone with them to help with personal care. They could need either frequent help coping with their bodily functions or constant care to stop them hurting themselves or others. This could be either during the day or at night.
A claimant who needs help both during the day and at night can get the higher rate of AA. A claimant who needs help either during the day or at night gets the lower rate. From October 1990, people who have a terminal illness, and are therefore not likely to live for more than 6 months, were also invited to claim. Someone can make a claim on their behalf without their knowledge. Since April 1992, people who were disabled before the age of 65 receive DLA instead of AA. The statistics for all tables are based on a 5% count.
