Claiming attendance allowance Abroad
Options

Hello,
Is it possible to claim attendance allowance indefinetly if one is moving abroad permanently outside of the EU ? My family member has been claiming it for the last 12 months but is considering retiring abroad, can they still continue to receive it ? I've been in contact with the DWP and they've said they'd call me back to confirm but haven't yet .
thanks

Don't think you can - see this link https://www.gov.uk/attendance-allowance/eligibility0

There is a lot of information about this on the .gov website. A lot depends on which country they are moving to. There about 16 non EU countries mentioned on the website where AA may be paid.0

You may have read that it can be paid in some countries but only within the fixed parameters, not permanently.
Any proposed stays abroad over 30 days must be notified to relevant department in UK.0
