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.

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.

She was on higher rate disability - and had attendance allow. When she moved in with me and i claimed carers allow. Stopped her attendance allow. So at time - i got about £60 a week and she lost £86 a week!!
