Checking Pension Credit and Attendance Allowance

What support might be available?

Pension Credit supports eligible people over State Pension age on a low income; Attendance Allowance addresses certain personal care or supervision needs.

How to get started

Review Pension Credit eligibility using income and household information. If you have disability-related care needs, check Attendance Allowance separately and prepare supporting details for the claim.

Important to know

The programmes have different criteria and may interact with other entitlements; consult current GOV.UK guidance.
