The middle rate of the DLA care component or the higher rate of Attendance Allowance is payable to those people who undergo haemodialysis or intermittent peritoneal dialysis at home at least twice each week.
When you apply you need to show that-
you need to dialyse at home at least twice every week
and
you "normally require the attention or supervision of another person during the period of the dialysis"
or
because of your particular circumstances you "in fact require another person during the period of dialysis" to supervise you in order to avoid danger or to help with your bodily functions.
You will not be awarded DLA if you dialyse in hospital and receive help from hospital staff, nor will you get DLA if you undergo continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis or peritoneal rapid overnight dialysis unless you can show that you need help from someone.
