ATTENDANCE ALLOWANCE AND CONSTANT ATTENDANCE ALLOWANCE

Can someone furnish me with the rules as to whether these two benefits can be paid together in some way or if they overlap? Can’t find a thing about it. Thanks

Hiya - CPAG page 1165; AA, DLA, PIP, AFI and CAA all overlap one another.

I’ve always felt that CPAG could lay it out better….

Hi

CAA is part of the IIDB scheme -  AA will be reduced by the amount of CAA in payment to client

It’s not uncommon to claim AA/DLA (I guess PIP now) pending the outcome of a CAA decision as special rules AA/DLA/PIP is quicker (or used to be) than the CAA process. However, you don’t get paid the full rate of each.
