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.

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?0

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.0

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.0
