<p>The information requested is not available. Attendance allowance is not a means tested benefit. We have obtained the following estimates from the Family Resource Survey.</p><p>The survey data used to answer this question does not capture assets such as housing and vehicles; as such it has simply been answered where a family's income is below the specified threshold.</p><p><table><thead><tr><td valign="top">Table1: Number of people in families with at least one member receivingattendance allowance and with less than £123,000 of gross familyincome, UK,2011-12<br /></td></tr><tr><td valign="top" /><td valign="top">Number<br /></td></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td valign="top">2011-12<br /></td><td valign="top">1,200,000<br /></td></tr></tbody><tfoot><tr><td valign="top">Notes:<br />1.
