    Hi @paulhooperwaterways welcome to the community. Was it recently you were awarded attendance allowance? I wouldn't like to say for certain as it depends on the circumstances, when this was identified and why. It's promising that they've fast tracked this though. Hopefully you'll get some news soon. If you're struggling, the DWP have a few options available in the form of short term loans which you might be eligible for. See more detail here - Emergency Financial Assistance
