People over State Pension age with hearing issues could be due up to £101 each week
The latest figures from the Scottish Government show that there are estimated to be around 850,000 people with hearing loss in Scotland and of those, 70 per cent are over 70. It is projected that figures could double over the next 20 years, with a delay of up to 10 years before people address their hearing loss.
If you, or someone you know, is over State Pension age and living with a hearing impairment, you should consider making a claim for Attendance Allowance. Top Money Stories Today New claimants of Attendance Allowance could also qualify for the £150 Disability Cost of Living Payment due to be made this summer by the UK Government to help households with the increased cost of living. No qualifying period has been announced yet, so the sooner a new claim is submitted the greater the likelihood that it will meet the eligibility requirements.
You can spend the money however you like and it could help you stay independent in your own home for longer.Can I claim even if I have savings and other income? Yes. Attendance Allowance isn't means-tested so it doesn't matter what other money you have coming in or how much you have in savings either - there's no limit.
