State Pension and Attendance Allowance was created by Strato
Sorry if this is in the wrong place to post but I'm looking for help since my partner died last month.
He claimed pip and state pension,I only claim state pension,everyone who needed to be notified has been and all direct debits have been changed to my name.
My question is we were getting housing and council tax benefits so am I eligible for the same?
I don't get any other pensions or benefits but I am looking at trying to claim Attendance Allowance due to heart failure, but I'm waiting for after the funeral (that was delayed)to fill the form in as I can't concentrate on anything else at the moment.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Hello Strato,
Firstly I would just like to send you my sincere condolences on the loss of your partner.
When you are able you could try ringing the AGE UK helpline 0800 169 6565 who should be able to help you with what benefits you are now entitled to and offer help with how to go about getting things sorted out. They may even be able to help you with the Attendence Allowance application.
Wishing you all the very best,
Gaddy
