answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/09/2023 answer text <p>Entitlement to Attendance Allowance is based on the on-going need for frequent personal care and attention, or supervision to ensure personal safety, rather than on the individual’s medical condition. The six-month qualifying period helps establish that the disability and the resulting care or supervision needs are of a long-term nature, and ensures the benefit goes to those for whom it is intended. Claims made under the Special Rules for those with less than 12 months to live do not have to satisfy the six-month qualifying period.</p> answering member constituency Sevenoaks answering member printed Laura Trott question first answered 13/09/2023 11:29:18 answering member 4780 label Biography information for Laura Trott

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/07/2023 answer text <p>The Government decided over 25 years ago that it was going to make the State Pension age the same for men and women.
