In all cases pension credit plus add ons exceeds ESA/Universal Credit plus add ons.

Same post-pension ages rules applied for DLA.
Attendance Allowance is there for care needs.
Quote:
Attendance Allowance helps with extra costs if you have a disability severe enough that you need someone to help look after you.
It’s paid at 2 different rates and how much you get depends on the level of care that you need because of your disability.

The other benefits you get can increase if you get Attendance Allowance.

You could get extra Pension Credit, Housing Benefit or Council Tax Reduction if you get Attendance Allowance - check with the helpline or office dealing with your benefit.
