## Resource

The Department for Work and Pensions is offering up to $114 a week to state pensioners with certain bone conditions, part of the Attendance Allowance benefit. This higher payment is for those needing constant help or supervision, or if doctors predict end-of-life. Arthritis, muscle/bone/joint diseases, back pain, limb trauma, frailty, double amputees, and spondylosis are qualifying conditions. Inform DWP of any changes in condition or support needs.
