Attendance Allowance Address for Posting Your Form
Once you have completed your Attendance Allowance form, you need to return it to the correct DWP address. The official Attendance Allowance postal address is:
Attendance Allowance Unit
Mail Handling Site A
Wolverhampton
WV98 2AD
Alternatively, you can use the Freepost address printed on the envelope provided with your claim form: Freepost DWP Attendance Allowance. No stamp is needed with this address.
How to Send Your Attendance Allowance Form Safely
We recommend sending your completed Attendance Allowance form by recorded delivery or tracked post. This gives you proof that the form was sent and received, which can be important if the DWP claims it was not received.
Keep a Copy of Your Form
Before sending your Attendance Allowance form to the address above, make a photocopy or scan of every page. This is your record of what you submitted and can be invaluable if there is a dispute about your claim or if you need to request a reconsideration.
What If My Form Gets Lost?
If your form is lost in the post, the DWP may claim it was never received. If you sent it by recorded delivery, you will have proof of postage. If not, you may need to complete a new form — but your claim start date will be the date you originally telephoned the DWP to request the form, not the date you resubmit.
Contacting the DWP About Your Submission
If you are concerned that your form has not arrived, call the DWP Attendance Allowance helpline on 0800 731 0122 to check whether it has been received.
Get Help Before You Post
Before you send your form to the Attendance Allowance address, consider asking a specialist to review it. At Elder Care, we check forms before submission to ensure they are complete and give the best possible picture of your care needs.
