How do you go about cancelling a 'attendance allowance' claim please?

thank you for accepting me.......can anyone tell me, how do you go about cancelling a 'attendance allowance' claim please? iv stupidly sent in a form for my 83 year old severely disabled dad (he has a bad heart, parkinsons and dementia) and on DLA with middle care. someone told me to claim for him and my mum so I did but have now found out his DLA could stop....im so upset I should have read into it first iv written and got my dad to sign it (he didn't know what he was signing ) but i explained that I didn't know you can't if you are on DLA I sent it in over a week ago so is it too late ... I am so upset....thank you xx

The benefits system can be a minefield and it's easy to be confused by it, I can understand you are upset by all this.
It may be worth you filling in a benefits calculator for your mum and dad so you can see exactly what they could be entitled to and the best way forward.
