Hi everyone
I applied for attendance allowance in March 2023, I've heard nothing but have been told by a charity group called HOPE that DWP aren't paying it to people on PIP is this correct please

    Attendance Allowance is for those of state pension age and above. PIP is for those under state pension age.(unless you've already got an award when you reach this age)
    If you're state pension age and above, you can't claim both PIP and AA. A claim for AA will end the PIP award and there's no mobility part to AA.

    Hello @Phil1953

    Welcome to the community! :) I hope you are well?

    I hope Poppy's answer has helped you. Can I ask, have you used a benefits calculator? It may give you an idea of everything you can claim.
