It is paid out of general taxation and is a tax-free, non-contributory, and non-means-tested benefit so is not affected by other income or savings.</p><p> </p><p>Pensioners in receipt of Attendance Allowance and on a low-income may qualify for Pension Credit if all other eligibility criteria are met. Moreover, pensioners on low incomes and in receipt of Attendance Allowance can qualify for an additional amount in Pension Credit, providing they meet the other eligibility criteria.</p> answering member constituency Wycombe answering member printed Emma Reynolds question first answered 28/10/2024 17:23:17 answering member 4077 label Biography information for Emma Reynolds

My right hon. Friend, the Secretary of State for Education, has been clear that children’s wellbeing must be at the heart of this guidance for schools. As such, the government will look carefully at the consultation responses, discuss with stakeholders and consider the relevant evidence before setting out next steps.</p> answering member constituency Newcastle upon Tyne North answering member printed Catherine McKinnell question first answered 28/10/2024 13:53:18 answering member 4125 label Biography information for Catherine McKinnell
