Short answer

No. Savings, income and pensions do not affect Attendance Allowance at all.

There is no savings limit and no income question on the claim form. Attendance Allowance is paid because of the help someone needs, not their money.

How much

£76.70a week. Help needed day or night.
£114.60a week. Help needed day and night, or if nearing the end of life.
