How our process works

A registered Occupational Therapist is assigned to support you, carrying out a thorough assessment of your care needs and managing the application process on your behalf.

1

Free Eligibility Call

We’ll arrange a call with one of our registered Occupational Therapists. During this call, they will confirm whether you may qualify for Attendance Allowance. If you are eligible, we’ll explain the next steps and only proceed with the application with your agreement.

2

Comprehensive Consultation Call

This step reviews the information you’ve already provided and gathers any further details needed to complete your application. Your Occupational Therapist will then have everything required to complete the 32-page Attendance Allowance form.
Once finished, the form will be completed and endorsed by your OT, then posted to you by 1st Class Royal Mail within 4 days for your approval, signature, and submission to the DWP.

3

A Risk Free Outcome

Month 1: The DWP confirms they’ve received your application.

Month 2: The DWP notifies you of the outcome.

Month 3: Any awarded payments are backdated to the date your form was received.

Once you receive your backdated payment, AAS will collect the fee for the Occupational Therapist’s services—this is usually fully covered by your first payment.
 If your application is unsuccessful, there will be no fee to pay.

Attendance Allowance is a benefit provided by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP).

It’s for people over State Pension age who need extra help because of health conditions or daily living difficulties. It helps cover the additional costs of care, with the aim of improving quality of life.
