Pensioners suffering from back pain may qualify for up to £441 from the Department for Work and Pensions through Attendance Allowance, providing crucial financial support for those in need.
- Individuals with back pain who require assistance during the day or night may be eligible for the Department for Work and Pensions Attendance Allowance, receiving up to £441 every four weeks.
- The Attendance Allowance offers £73.90 for those needing help during the day and £110.40 for those needing assistance at night, or a total of £295.60 to £441.40 if both are needed.
- This financial aid is especially significant for pensioners impacted by conditions like arthritis, as it does not require a means test, ensuring support for those with severe disabilities.
Why It Matters
