Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what assessment she has made of the potential merits of changing application forms for attendance allowance .

Successive Governments of different political persuasions have reviewed forms and letters when circumstances change. The Government reviews forms and letters as and when changes to a DWP benefit occurs and/or as a result of customer feedback. The Attendance Allowance claim form was last updated in December 2018. The Attendance Allowance claim form is designed to elicit the required information to determine entitlement to Attendance Allowance and to help support citizens in telling us how their lives are affected by their disability.
