Company Description

AAS offers a specialised, fee-based service that simplifies the application process for individuals of pensionable age who need support with personal care due to physical or mental health conditions.

Operating on a contingency fee basis, AAS charges only when applications are successful, with fees taken from backdated DWP payments.
