Huw Jones, of KHL Trust Services, suspects that many people are missing out on claiming the benefit.
He is worried that many people dont realise the Attendance Allowance scheme exists and that those who know about the benefit cannot face the paperwork involved in filing a claim.
In short, I suspect that if we surveyed the matter in Carmarthenshire, we would find that many people are losing out on Attendance Allowance, said Mr Jones.
If you are receiving care from family members or paying for care either at home or in a residential care home you are almost certainly entitled to Attendance Allowance.
The allowance can be for up to 73.60 per week (shortly to be increased to 77.45 per week).
It is money that has been allocated by the Government to cover care issues, said Mr Jones.
The pot of money is there, but many people dont realise it exists, or simply cannot face the headache of doing the paperwork to apply.
Attendance Allowance is not means-tested, so people receiving care could be entitled to it even if they are millionaires or have significant assets in property.
The benefit is not taxable.
Mr Jones added: The application form, which asks medical questions and requests other information, can be quite onerous to complete, especially for the elderly.
For that reason, I work on Attendance Allowance applications on a no win, no fee basis.
In addition, I have built up significant experience in handling applications and can gently guide people through the application process.
The only cost of an enquiry would be the cost of your telephone call.
Over recent years, I have come across many people who were unaware of the Attendance Allowance scheme, so this is something of a personal crusade of mine to raise awareness of a benefit which can go a long way to helping people and their carers.
