State Pension provides essential financial support for over 12.4 million older people across the UK, including some 981,399 individuals living in Scotland.
This regular payment is available for those who have reached the UK Government’s eligible retirement age, which is now 66 for both men and women.
State Pension is not paid automatically, it has to be claimed by those of eligible age, because some people choose to defer making a claim in order to keep working and contribute more towards their pension pot. However, many older people may be missing out on an additional benefit payment they could be eligible to claim which is worth up to £369.60 every four weeks.
Some people of State Pension age, and older, are failing to claim Attendance Allowance, a benefit which helps individuals with daily living expenses and can help them stay independent, in their own home for longer.
As the nation braces for rocketing energy bills, rising inflation and higher living costs, now is the ideal time for older people to make sure they are claiming all the financial support they are entitled to.

Here is everything you need to know about the benefit, including payments and how to make a claim to the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP).
Attendance Allowance helps with extra costs if you have a physical or mental disability or illness severe enough that makes it hard for you to look after yourself - it does not cover mobility needs.
You do not need to have someone caring for you in order to make a claim.
You should apply for Attendance Allowance if you have a disability or illness and need help or supervision throughout the day or at times
