Question
If someone over 65 is claiming Attendance Allowance, does this non-taxable income still get included in total income when assessing whether they breach the £22,900 limit for the claiming the full rate of Age Allowance for income tax?Answer
No, thankfully the Attendance Allowance doesn't affect age-related personal income tax allowances. Neither does the winter fuel payment.
There's a useful list showing the tax status of state benefits on the Directgov website, those benefits listed as tax-free do not count towards the age allowance.
