Attendance Allowance at the higher rate is £90 a week. Check that she isn't on the lower rate still.

Thanks for that. At £240 a month it looks like she's on the lower rate. I think my sister has applied for her to go onto the higher rate, but that was a while ago. Maybe they have "decided" that she doesn't require the higher level of supervision?

I'll speak with my sister and see where things are up to on that front.

Thanks again.

Mums Attendance Allowance latest payment was £299, which doesn't match the £90 per week for the higher payment.

However, I'm assuming that she has received the higher payment for part of the 4 week period, and that it will be £360 in another 4 weeks - We'll See
