Support With Attendance Allowance Applications

Attendance Allowance is a benefit designed to help people over State Pension age who need support with personal care due to illness, disability or long term health conditions.

Many people are unaware they may be eligible or feel unsure about how to apply. At Savigny Consulting, we provide calm, supportive guidance to help make the process clear, manageable and less overwhelming.

Our aim is to help you understand what support may be available and assist you in completing the application accurately and confidently.

What Is Attendance Allowance?

Attendance Allowance is a non-means-tested and non-taxable benefit that can help cover the extra costs associated with needing personal care or supervision. You do not currently need to be receiving care to qualify. Eligibility is based on needing support, even if that help is provided by family members or has not yet been arranged.

This may include support with:

  • Clear & honest guidance

  • Thoughtful guidance with a personal touch

  • Compassionate & understanding suppor

  • Tailored around your circumstances

  • Reliable support you can depend on
