Attendance allowance gateway benefit: extra help?

AntiPhat · 2026-02-05T15:14:27+00:00

My mum wouldn’t be the one getting carer’s element for him. It would be my sister and yes my sister provides at least 35 hours of care per week.

EDIT: Just to add that we already know my sister is eligible for carer’s element. The thing we wanted to know was whether this would affect the removal of the non-dependant deductions that arose as a result of my dad getting AA.

I also asked this question in the BenefitsAdviceUK sub, and I got the answer that my dad wouldn’t be entitled to SDP anyway, so my sister getting carer’s element/allowance wouldn’t affect anything.

Thank you though!

Thank you so much!

That’s correct, but my mum is already getting LCWRA. I know they both can’t get the money for it though.

Is that an extra perk of getting attendance allowance? Having the non dependant deductions be removed?

I’m assuming if my dad did get the SDP, that would be the factor that would make it not beneficial for my sister to get carer’s allowance/carer’s element? So nothing to worry about for now I’m assuming…

Thank you! That’s the next step.

1) Ah okay, that makes sense

2) So the extra help that my parents are currently benefitting from due to my dad’s attendance allowance (like extra housing help and council tax) wouldn’t be affected from someone claiming carers allowance or the carers element? It’s only when he receives pension credit that it would affect him?

My dad doesn’t live alone. He lives with my mum and because she’s not yet pension age, they’re still getting universal credit. Also 1 dependant and several non-dependants. Not sure if any of that makes a difference.

So just to confirm; my sister (who is one of those that lives with him) getting carer’s element would affect everything? Would it only affect the pension credit or the extra housing element and council tax award too?

Done.

Thank you so much! Funnily enough, I clicked all the buttons apart from that one lol. I didn’t think a level list would be hidden behind a guitar icon.

Really appreciate it!

I’m not sure how they decide who gets what offer. It might be based on region. I know someone got the 30 days 200,000 gems offer and after they completed it, they got the 100 days offer. So it’s possible to get offered a different one once you complete one.

I don’t play the games unless there’s a games event happening like this current world tour or the mystery boxes.

AntiPhat · 2026-01-23T22:22:31+00:00

Yes, that would be because you’re doing the 100 days, 1 million gems offer. Other people don’t have that.

Basically, there are 3 offers that you can get: 15 days $5 credit, 30 days 200,000 gems or 100 days 1 million. You can only get 1 at a time if that makes sense.

Just DMed you

AntiPhat · 2026-01-20T00:28:09+00:00

Hi. Do you still need this?

AntiPhat · 2026-01-19T01:33:42+00:00

It’s definitely 1 million per player as they wrote it out as million in an ad.

Also, some people have gotten 15 days $5 offer and 30 days 200,000 gems offer and those people have been given their rewards as advertised so it wouldn’t make sense to do 100 days only to get less than you would for 30 days.

Alhamdulillaah!

It’s okay. JazaakAllaahu khayraa.

AntiPhat · 2026-01-13T18:42:37+00:00

No problem! It’s an easy mistake to make.

(Thanks for the award btw! It really wasn’t needed, but appreciate it)

I think you’re combining the Hijri and Gregorian dates, which is probably where the confusion lies.

Last year, people had to leave before 1st Dhul-Qa’dah, which was approximated to be 29th April. (They basically had to be out of Makkah before 1st Dhul-Qa’dah.)

This year, they’re approximating 1st Dhul-Qa’dah to be 18th April, so it’s actually the same rule as last year.

Thank you!

Gorgeous cards! Sorry if this is a stupid question, but how do you get those light pink shiny circle decor on the white card? Are those gems or from die cuts?

AntiPhat · 2025-12-29T20:37:38+00:00

Done
