Attendance Allowance rules
10 Answers
My mother is 79 yrs old and is claiming Attendance Allowance as she needs help to get around. She is doing a job from home for 10 hours a week and receives £10.00 per hour (before tax). Is this legal and does she need to inform the Attendance Allowance people. Will her Attendance Allowance be stopped because of this. The job is done sitting down and is nothing to do with her disability.
Can anyone advise me. Thanks.

Her attendance allowance wont be affected but she will be liable for income tax if she has a pension which takes her over the tax limit when added to her wages. Attendance allowance is not taxable (What is she doing working from home sitting down and still earning £10 per hour I would love a job like that!)
Attendance Allowance (AA) is not taxed and does not need to be declared it can be paid in addition to almost any other benefit, it is like Disability living allowance but for people over 65, the only time it stops is if your Mother were admitted into Hospital or some types of care home, after a waiting period of four weeks.
Your Mother should check to see if getting AA can trigger help with means tested benefits, such as Housing or Council Tax benefit, or Pension Credit if she is in receipt of these benefits.
