170多万英国人领取护理津贴;报告健康变化,以避免处罚。 Over 1.7 million in UK get Attendance Allowance; report health changes to avoid penalties.

到2025年2月,超过170万英国人领取了护理津贴,这是对65岁以上因残疾而需要帮助从事日常工作的人的免税福利。 Over 1.7 million people in Great Britain received Attendance Allowance by February 2025, a tax-free benefit for those aged 65+ needing help with daily tasks due to disability. 索赔人必须向DWP求助热线(0800 731 0122)报告健康或情况的变化,如住院或增加护理需要,以避免处罚。 Claimants must report changes in health or circumstances, such as hospitalization or increased care needs, to the DWP helpline (0800 731 0122) to avoid penalties. 该福利不受储蓄或其他收入的影响,也不影响国家养恤金。 The benefit is not affected by savings or other income and does not impact the State Pension. 在苏格兰,新的索偿要求正在向养恤金年龄残疾津贴过渡,但是,在系统转移完成之前,现有的领取者仍必须报告变化情况。 In Scotland, new claims are transitioning to Pension Age Disability Payment, but existing recipients must still report changes until the system transfer completes. 可在GOV.UK上查阅指导意见。 Guidance is available on GOV.UK.
