How much attendance allowance will I get?

There are two different rates of attendance allowance:

• Lower rate:       £72.65 a week
• Higher rate:      £108.55 a week

Which rate you get depends on how much and when you need help.

Lower rate

You’ll get the lower rate if you need help or supervision at any time during the day or night.

This includes help getting dressed, preparing meals or managing medications.

Higher rate

You’ll get the higher rate if you need help or supervision during the day and at night.

If you need constant support or supervision, this is the rate you’ll get. 

You’ll also get the higher amount if you’re terminally ill.
