Specialist support for Attendance Allowance applications.
Worth up to £5,741 per year to help you live independently. Kinly’s dedicated team helps you understand if you are entitled to receive Attendance Allowance, and then guides you through the entire 30-page application.
If you are over 66 years old and have a medical condition that impacts your daily living, you may be entitled to Attendance Allowance. Whether you are working or retired; whether you currently receive any support or not. This money is tax-free and non-means-tested, and can be spent however you like.
The Attendance Allowance application process can be long and confusing. Kinly’s dedicated team offers trusted guidance and support to enable you to successfully complete your application in a simple and stress-free way.
Attendance Allowance is there to help people over 66 years old who have a medical condition that impacts their daily living. There is no requirement for you to be currently receiving any personal care or support.
Around 1.5 million people already receive the allowance, but millions more do not.
If successful, individuals receive the higher rate (£110.40 per week) or the lower rate (£73.90 per week), with an additional lump-sum payment of backdated money. Couples can both apply separately, which could be worth over £11,000 per year. Successful applications can also help unlock other support such as Council Tax Reduction or Pension Credit.

Attendance Allowance is a difficult and time-consuming process, involving a 30 page application form to the Department for Work and Pensions, and complex questions requiring real know-how to answer correctly. As a result, over 60% fail when they apply.
At Kinly we believe that those in need should have the support available to them, and we’re on a mission to help.
