No
Short answer
Attendance Allowance is not means-tested, so income and pensions – private or state – do not affect it.
Why pensions don't matter
Attendance Allowance is paid for the help someone needs, not assessed against income. There is no income question on the claim form.
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.
