The Attendance Allowance form is long, and most people quietly under-sell how much they struggle. CareClaim asks the right questions, then turns your answers into a clear draft pack you can check, print and post. In your words. At your pace.
“Mum forgets she’s eaten and starts cooking again.”
She needs supervision and prompting around meals because of memory problems, with a risk of repeated attempts to cook without realising she has already eaten.
Rates for the 2026/27 tax year, in force from 7 April 2026. Attendance Allowance is tax-free and is not means-tested.
The claim form asks about your worst days, not your best. People play down how much they struggle, leave out the risks, and forget the things they have quietly stopped doing. CareClaim asks the right questions so nothing important gets missed, and helps you put it into clear, factual language.
Four calm steps. Stop and come back whenever you like.
Applying for yourself, or helping someone else? We adjust every question and reword the draft to suit.
Six everyday areas: washing, eating, medication, moving about, staying safe, and help at night.
Your answers become clear, factual paragraphs in the style the form is looking for. You can edit anything.
A draft form summary, a supporting statement, and an evidence checklist. Check it, then post it yourself.
A pack you can read back to yourself and be proud of.
Section by section, matched to the six care areas the AA1 form covers, in plain formal wording.
A short narrative that ties the picture together, the single most useful thing to enclose.
A tailored list of letters, lists and notes worth gathering to back up your claim.
Choose carer mode and the whole tool changes with you. Questions ask what you have seen. The draft is written about them, not you, so it reads correctly when it reaches the form. Ideal for helping a parent, partner or someone who cannot manage the form alone.
