Some benefits help you with the extra care needs you have because you’re disabled or have a long-term or terminal health condition.
These benefits are not means tested. In other words they are not affected by your income and savings. They include:
- Personal Independence Payment
- Disability Living Allowance
- Attendance Allowance
Benefits that are means-tested are those that are designed to:
- replace earnings – for example Employment and Support Allowance
- top up your income – for example tax credits
- help you with essential costs – for example Housing Benefit
