Thank you for the information on this site regarding claiming attendance allowance . Using the guide I recently helped my very sick father put in a claim. He has been ill for 6 years but had put off applying due to the fear of a medical and horror stories in the press. In less than 2 weeks he had a decision granting him attendance allowance with no medical needed and the back pay has already been paid in to his account. He was very tearful when he told me and he felt sure it was down to the guides. I am so relieved for him and only wish he had applied sooner. Thank you all for the continued hard work
