Attendance Allowance is NOT means-tested, so income's irrelevant – and it can open up access to more help, potentially worth £1,000s per year! Many people rule themselves out when they shouldn’t.”Who is entitled to Attendance Allowance? Attendance Allowance is currently paid at a minimum rate of £73.90 per week, which works out at £3,842 a year. Attendance Allowance is a gateway benefit, and it's worth noting that it can open the door to other benefits too. If they do over 35 hours a week on low pay, then they may get paid Carer's Allowance, though how this interacts with AA is complex - see Carer's Allowance with Attendance Allowance help.
