Only one of those is potentially true as qualifying for entitlement - the last one (if death might happen within the six months - soon to be extended to twelve months).

These are dreadful articles.

The health conditions are those which may cause difficulties in personal care which could therefore result in entitlement to AA.

These news stories I have seen often in all of the newspapers of all types and political allegiances and I never ever pay attention to any of them. It is just a indication that they have nothing better to print and the majority are the same article retyped differently with a click bait headline.

It’s the same for all disability benefits. Best thing to do is ignore them.

Oh dear, yep I'd definitely stick to official, trustworthy sources for benefits information (and news altogether, more generally!). It's good you were able to recognise this as twaddle, I fear others might take it at face value however and be put off applying for benefits they're entitled to.
