My husband gets disability allowance which I believe this includes carriers allowance.
Would I be able to claim attendance allowance as well.
He now has vascular dementia ,so cannot be left alone.

How long has he been suffering from dementia?
There are a few people who can direct you to where you need to be.
He WasDiagnosed 3years ago. But has been on disability for about 20 years
I have Vascular Dementia and diagnosed in December 2014, I’m on pip and the carers Benefit is taken from the claimants benefits, so the monies I get is less the carers allowance.
