Attendance Allowance

Good evening all.

I’ve recently applied for Attendance Allowance and have used a local Disability Advisor to help with form filling etc:

Does anyone know how long it should take before we hear of their decision ?

Thanks, regards

David

Not sure if this is allowed, if not, admin please delete. I had a look on youtube - Charlie Anderson has information about PIP etc, maybe you might find useful tips there too. She is no nonsense and swears occasionally - fair warning! x
