My parent has savings. Is it still worth claiming?

Checked 30 September 2026 against the sources below · Sources

Yes
Short answer

Attendance Allowance is not means-tested, so savings do not affect it at all – however much they have.

Why savings don't matter

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

What to do next

If they are over State Pension age and need help or watching over because of an illness or disability, ring 0800 731 0122 and ask for the claim form.
