People claiming certain benefits could end up in court if they do not tell DWP of changes
People claiming Attendance Allowance could end up in trouble if they do not declare certain personal circumstances, the Department for Work and Pensions has warned. The government body says there are strict rules people receiving the allowance should adhere to, and should they fail to do so, they risk ending up in court, as reported by the Express.
A statement on the DWP website reads: “[Attendance Allowance claimants] could be taken to court or have to pay a penalty if you give wrong information or do not report a change in your circumstances.” The DWP lists eight important changes in circumstance a person must report, which could largely impact their entitlement to the benefit.
You could get £61.85 or £92.40 a week to help with personal support if you’re both: physically or mentally disabled and of State Pension age or older. It does not cover mobility needs.
