Why have the application completed and professionally endorsed for you?

Over 60% of Attendance Allowance applications are rejected due to the complexities of the 32 page application form. Many eligible individuals miss out on over £5,700 per year financial support, simply because they lack professional healthcare guidance and application endorsement when completing the process. 

How it works

A registered Occupational Therapist is assigned to you to assess your care needs thoroughly and manage the entire application process for you.

Key Features

Occupational Therapists are widely recognised to be the most appropriately qualified professionals to complete this complex and often sensitive care assessment, which maximises the likelihood of a successful Attendance Allowance application.

Free Eligibility Call:

A free eligibility call is arranged with one of our registered Occupational Therapists. 

This call is designed to ascertain your eligibility for Attendance Allowance. The Occupational Therapist will also highlight the information required from you to commence the application process.  

If eligibility is established, agreement is then obtained from you to proceed with the application on your behalf. 

Comprehensive Consultation Call: 

This consultation reviews your existing information and gathers additional clinical detail needed for a full Occupational Therapy assessment and endorsement of your application report.

Once complete, the Occupational Therapist will have everything required to professionally prepare your Attendance Allowance (AA) or Pension Age Disability Payment (PADP–Scotland) application report. This report can be sent to you digitally with instructions on completing your own application by hand.

Alternatively:  

Our Admin team can also produce and print a finalised 32/88 page application form along with the OT's endorsed cover letter on your behalf, ready for your signature and onward submission to the DWP or Social Security Scotland.

A Risk Free Outcome

Month 1 DWP confirm receipt of application form with you.

Month 2 DWP then confirm the outcome of the application.  

Month 3 DWP backdate payment to the date your form is received by them. 

Once you receive your initial backdated payment from the DWP, AAS will collect the fees for the Occupational Therapist's professional services and Admin fees if utilised. In most cases, our success fee is fully covered by your first backdated payment.

In the unlikely event your application is unsuccessful, all fees are waved. 

What is Attendance Allowance?

Understanding Attendance Allowance: An Occupational Therapists Guide

What is Attendance Allowance?

Department of Work and Pensions (DWP) Attendance Allowance provides additional financial support for individuals whose health and /or daily functional activities are challenged or limited, and who are at or above the state pension age. This benefit aims to help with the extra costs associated with increasing care needs, enabling recipients to maintain a higher quality of life and independence. 

​

Eligibility Criteria

To qualify for Attendance Allowance, you must:

Have health and /or daily functional activities challenged or limited. 

Require care from another person due to this condition.

Have needed care for at least six months or more.

Be state pension age or over.

Not be in receipt of PIP or DLA benefits.

Importantly, Attendance Allowance is not means-tested. Your savings or income will not affect your eligibility for this benefit.

​

Attendance Allowance Rates for 2025

There are two rates of Attendance Allowance, determined by the level of care and support you need:

Lower rate: £ 320.23 per month (Paid 4 weekly)

Higher rate: £ 478.40 per month (Paid 4 weekly)

​

If your circumstances change after you've started receiving Attendance Allowance, it's crucial to report these changes to ensure you're receiving the correct amount. You can report changes directly to the DWP. 

The application form includes a section for a statement from someone who knows you, such as a healthcare professional, carer, or close family member. This statement can strengthen your application by providing an additional perspective on your daily needs.

Remember, Attendance Allowance is about ensuring you get the support you need to manage your care needs and maintain your independence. Don't hesitate to apply if you meet the criteria.

Mark from London:

"I've always disliked filling out long, complex forms, especially Government ones. 

So, it wasn't surprising when my first application for Dad's Attendance Allowance was rejected after waiting months for a reply from the DWP.

Asking my father about his personal medical conditions and daily care needs felt very awkward for me, it's therefore likely I didn't provide the level of detailed information the DWP required.

I had given up hope of getting this benefit for Dad as I wasn't willing to go through the hassle of completing another application form.

Then, I discovered this "Done for You" Attendance Allowance Service (AAS), run by registered Occupational Therapists. After a short phone call with me and my dad, the form was completed for us, endorsed by the OT and quickly submitted. 

Our OT's clinical expertise identified a number of additional care requirements I had originally overlooked, so our application was quickly approved. 

The OT also secured us backdated benefits, which ended up with my dad receiving more than double the OT's fees. 

My dad now thinks I'm some sort of super-hero and now always buys me breakfast when I visit him. More importantly dad's house is now cleaned on a regular basis and his garden looks great thanks to the extra monthly Attendance Allowance funds.  

Thank you AAS, and especially Lisa our designated OT for your professional and pain free service."

Attendance Allowance Services Objective:

Attendance Allowance Services (AAS) main objective is to greatly increase the likelihood of eligible candidates being accepted for Attendance Allowance (AA) the first time they apply for this much needed support. This saves a significant amount of time, stress and missed financial support caused by the DWP rejecting an application.

We believe the expertise and professional support we provide should in fact be provided free of charge by the DWP. This would greatly increase the DWP current acceptance rate (less than 40%) to match AAS results of over 99% acceptance. 

Our Strategy: 

AAS have carefully structured our processes to ensure the funding for our registered Occupational Therapists is in fact met in full by the initial funds from the DWP and not the applicants own finances.    

Once the application form is returned to the DWP/SSS, payments start to accrue while your application is being assessed by the decision makers on your behalf. This is a lengthy process and results in the first DWP backdated payment more than covering our fees and the applicant receives ongoing financial support from a much earlier date.

We Do All The Work & Take All The Risk:  

In the unlikely event your application is rejected, no fees are due.
