Philippa. I'm surprised that attendance allowance would be stopped on entering a care home. The attendance allowance is assessed based on the level of care needed irrespective of where one's living and it would be unusual for one's level of care to reduce on entering a care home as the reason is usually because someone needs more care (although, if self funding, I suppose someone could more into a care home for convenience, a change in circumstances, or planning for the future). In my mother's case we didn't apply for attendance allowance until she moved from hospital to a care home after a short illness and it was someone working at her local authority who did her financial assessment who stressed she qualified for AA and we must apply - and, if I remember correctly, even offered to help if I had any issues with the application, although fortunately all went smoothly. I seem to remember I couldn't apply immediately because the local authority covered the first few weeks of her care home under some rule, and one couldn't claim AA for that period. It was probably in the authority's as well as my mother's interest to collect the attendance allowance because although my mother had to pay for her care home the AA would have delayed the time when she ran out of money and the local authority had to pick up the tab - although, sadly, she died long before that became an issue. |
