attendance allowance

how the hell do these ppl in blackpool think? i am suffering terminal cancer so i applied for the higher rate of aa, the lower rate is currently £49.30, i have just had a letter telling me my application was successful and i will be paid the higher rate of £51.85. anyone know where i can get extra personal care for £2.85pw. any ideas please leave message on the forum.

Hi the new rate of attendance allowance paid at the lower rate is £51.85 it would seem you are still being paid at lower rate
