Elders Beware: Hidden Fees on Benefit Claims | Leicester News
Description
Be warned: private firms are charging seniors hundreds or even thousands of pounds to apply for the free Attendance Allowance benefit—often taking a hefty percentage of the payout before you even receive it. One woman paid over a thousand pounds, which was 18% of her first year’s benefit. With free help available from Age UK, Citizens Advice, and the government helpline, don’t hand over your money to a claims company without asking for the fee in actual pounds and exploring all free options first.
