The Truth: Attendance Allowance Is NOT Means Tested
The question of whether attendance allowance is means tested prevents thousands of eligible people from applying each year. The clear answer: it is not means tested at all. Your financial situation is completely irrelevant to your eligibility.
Savings Do Not Matter
Whether you have £500 or £500,000 in savings, this has absolutely no bearing on your attendance allowance entitlement. This surprises many people who assume benefits are always based on financial need.
Income Does Not Matter
Your pension income, rental income, dividends, and any other income sources are irrelevant. Attendance allowance is not means tested in any way.
What Is the Benefit Based On?
Since it is not means tested, eligibility is based entirely on whether you are aged 66 or over and whether you need help with personal care or supervision due to disability or illness.
Common Misconceptions
Many people say they own their house so they will not qualify - incorrect. Others say they have a private pension so they are not eligible - incorrect. Some say they have savings so it will not apply to them - also incorrect.
All of these are myths. Your assets play no role whatsoever in the assessment.
