## Resource

Pensioners could be missing out on thousands of pounds a year—thanks to Attendance Allowance, a benefit designed for those over 66 needing help with daily living due to health or disability. It’s not tied to savings or income, and you can use the money however you like. Two tiers offer up to £5,900 annually, yet around a million eligible people aren’t claiming. Financial expert Martin Lewis is urging folks to apply—with help available from Citizens Advice and Age UK—even if you’re still working or on a pension. If you or someone you know struggles with care needs, this could be a game-changer.
