• Disabled Persons Railcard: You can get a Disabled Persons Railcard if you get Attendance Allowance.
• Housing Benefit, Pension Credit, or Council Tax Reduction: If you get Attendance Allowance, you could get extra Pension Credit, Housing Benefit, or Council Tax Reduction.
• Help with health costs: If you get Attendance Allowance, you may be entitled to help with health costs such as prescriptions, dental treatment, and eye tests.
