can l claim attendance allowance if my hip revision hasn’t worked and lm in continuous hip and back pain. I have already had two hip replacements foot operations. And now probably knee replacement. I’m 66. Having less mobility everyday can’t wslk longer than 20-30 mins slowly without being in excruciating pain need help washing dressing etc. Would l be eligible for this allowance.

Probably. Look up Attendance Allowance on the gov.uk website. And phone Age UK helpline.

Hi again l sent off my pip application last week changing from DLA. I had a text today saying they had received my pack and may need an assessment. Is this usual the MAY need an assessment Do they make a decision on just the application. Or is that the usual wording. Has anyone else had anything like this before?

Hello @Tricia1912, it's my understanding that it's just the wording they use. The majority of people do go for assessment, it's quite rare to get a paper-based one I'm afraid.Community Manager

You can't claim attendance allowance as well as PIP and attendance allowance doesn't have the mobility part.My advice is to continue with the PIP application. Your DLA will continue until a decisions been made on the PIP.I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.
