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
