Attendance Allowance
Background
Attendance Allowance (AA) is a benefit for people over the age of 65 who are so severely (physically or mentally) disabled, that they need a great deal of help with personal care or supervision.
They could need either frequent attention coping with their bodily functions or continual supervision to stop them hurting themselves or others. This could be either during the day or night.
