Hi Jeniferpa
I have looked at a lot of sites on the internet and like you I mostly understood if £145 was claimed then there would be no AA, but thought I would get it from the horses mouth, so to speak.
I phoned Motherwell Pensions Dept (who also said pension credit would still be paid, although I am doubful) and suggested I phoned Blackpool, as she, wasn't up on AA.
I did and was told that if self funding, AA could be claimed.
Maybe the person I spoke to didn't realise South Lanarkshire was in Scotland. I did ask her that even if the free personal care allowance was claimed, was AA still payed. She answered yes.
I will phone again and make it clear we are speaking about Scotland.
Thanks for your imput.
I didn't really believe the answers myself, but thought if I had misinformed someone here on TP, I had better put it right. More
Will keep you informed
