Not income related. The condition for payment of Constant Attendance Allowance is that because of the customer's disability they need daily care and attendance.
Entitlement is considered automatically.
If a customer qualifies for Constant Attendance Allowance at one of the two higher rates and their need for constant attendance is likely to be permanent they may qualify for Exceptionally Severe Disablement Allowance. They also have the right of appeal. See Disputes and Appeals .
