I had a call today, supposedly from the department for work and pensions. He told me he was calling about Attendance Allowance, he asked if I had applied yet.
I said to him, "if you are from the DWP, wouldn't you know if I had applied?"
The phone went dead.
Probably one of these "claim" companies that will complete the form for you at a cost, around £400 is the going rate. Don't forget, if you are entitled to it you will get it, and Age UK Torbay can help you for free. Don't be scammed. Call 01803 555181 for assistance.
