Hi, can any one help please. I receive DLA higher rate motability and lower rate at home, retired on I’ll health a few years ago ,my husband used to help, but he has passed away now, My daughter lives with me ,on ESA support and higher rate care PIP. Has mobility problems as well, as fibromyalgia.We are struggling to look after ourselves, some days we have trouble getting meals .My daughter is only 41 and I’m 64. We cannot get attendance allowance as we are both under 65. And looking into careers allowance, we are not sure if we can get that. Normally a friend or relation pops in if we both need help.we have a cleaner, shoppings is delivered most of the time. Can we claim anything?

Thanks for sharing this with us, and I'm so sorry for your loss. It sounds as though you're all coping with a lot at the moment and could use some assistance.
Have you had a needs assessment to see whether there's any support your local authority can offer? You may also be interested in this list of extra money and help PIP entitles you to.
