A Guide To Attendance Allowance Rates

Hello. My name is Lee Healey, and I am the Managing Director of Income Max, the entitlement expert. We help people make sense of and understand the benefits of tax credit system.

Today, we are going to tell you lots about the benefits and tax credits that are available. Here's a quick guide to the Attendance Allowance rates. Basically, the attendance allowance is a disability benefit that people aged 65 or over when they first claim.

You obviously will have disabilities or health problems that affect you. Now, the Attendance Allowance has two possible rates, a low rate and a high rate. Low rate Attendance Allowance basically looks at your disabilities and health problems and how it affects you in relation to your personal care and also whether you need supervision or support from another person to keep you safe.

Now, the attendance allowance low rate is pretty much the same as the disability given allowance middle rate care component. So they actually have the same rules and same regulations. Disabilities given allowance middle rates, is obviously paid at the same rate as the low rate attendance allowance.

Now back to attendance allowance. The attendance allowance low rate is looking at your personal care needs and your supervision to avoid danger. And it is looking at basically wherever you need help, either during the day or during the night.

So that is day or night. Now, the high rate attendance allowance has exactly the same disability test. But this time, it is looking to say wherever you need help during the day and during the night.

So once again, attendance allowance has two rates. It has a low rate and it has a high rate. Which rate you get, will depend on the disability test you satisfy and wherever you need help during the day and during the night.

For more information on the attendance allowance rates, it is always a good idea to visit the Disability Allowance website. You can visit them at www.disabilityallowance.
