You can get Disability Living Allowance for your care needs even if no one is actually giving you the care you need, even if you live alone. If you have an illness or disability that affects your daily life then it is worth finding out whether you can claim additional benefits. Each claim is assessed individually to see whether you meet the eligibility rules and which rate is payable.

You must be aged under 16 to make a new claim - if you are aged between 16 and state pension age then you should claim Personal Independence Payment, if you have reached state pension age then you should claim Attendance Allowance.
