Attendance Allowance (AA) guide

Someone keeping an eye on you

Think about the following when filling in the form:

  • do you get confused? This may be due to your illness or the medication you are taking
  • do you forget where you are going or forget what you are going for
  • do you cause harm to yourself
  • do you cause harm to others
  • do you damage furniture or damage other items
  • do you get frightened around other people
  • do you need reassurance from other people
  • do you get any warning about your illness
  • do you need help or supervision when you are outdoors
  • do you have any road sense
  • do you realise when there is danger
  • do you need others to help you get from one place to another
  • do you need someone to take your weight when walking
  • can you manage stairs, lifts and kerbs safely on your own
  • do you realise when your condition is getting worse

 

Give an estimate of how long somebody has to keep an eye on you. Use examples of past experiences.
