Need Help with Attendance Allowance?

This week, I’ve had the privilege of supporting: an elderly gentleman in Ainsdale to successfully upgrade his Attendance Allowance; a family from Rufford applying on behalf of their father with dementia who have previously had an application rejected; and a family living abroad applying for support for their housebound parent living in Liverpool.

If you or a loved one is aged 66+ and living with a disability or health condition that affects daily life at home and how you manage, you may be eligible for Attendance Allowance , even if no formal carer is involved.

With a high success rate, a confidential and compassionate approach, and full insurance and DBS checks, I offer expert support with new claims, rejected claims and upgrades.

Get in touch with me (Carolyn) today for a no-obligation chat, I’d be happy to help.

Check out this article from the BBC. Are you over 66? Could you missing out on Attendance Allowance, Pension Credit or Carers Allowance? If yes, please get in touch with me for a free consultation to assess if you may be eligible.

A report from Policy in Practice says awareness, complexity and stigma are the main barriers stopping people claiming.

Great start to the day!
This morning I had the opportunity to present my business, Grey Matters Consultancy - Southport, to the fantastic group at BNI Horizon.
It was a pleasure to share how I help clients through my business, and it's rewarding to be part of a network of over 35 local business owners who meet weekly to support each other and grow together, often before most people have had their first coffee!

If you're looking to grow your business and expand your network, I’d love to invite you along to one of our meetings. It’s a great way to connect, collaborate, and generate real opportunities.

Feel free to drop me a message if you’d like to come along!

🌟 Have You Been Turned Down for Attendance Allowance? 🌟
You’re not alone approximately 60% of claims get rejected and it doesn’t necessarily mean you’re not eligible.

At Grey Matters Consultancy Southport, I help older people access benefits they might not even realise they’re entitled to, especially Attendance Allowance.

Many applications are rejected not because people don’t qualify, but simply because the form hasn’t been filled out correctly. That’s where I come in.

✅ With a 98% success rate, I specialise in completing Attendance Allowance applications the right way.
📞 If you've been rejected before, or you're unsure if you qualify, give me a call – Carolyn Gorman 07946 304426. I’m happy to talk things through and see if I can help.

Don’t miss out on support you may be entitled to.
Let’s make sure your application reflects the reality of your needs.

📍 Based in Southport | 🤝 Friendly, local support you can trust, DBS Checked and fully insured.
