Hello Mazza of course you need help now. Have you checked out the pinned posts on the right?

Yes unfortunately there is a period of 6 months before you can actually get Attendance Allowance but you can make the claim earlier. Usually the only exceptio to the 6 months rule is if a person unfortunately is terminally ill and they can then claim under Special Rules.x
