Asking for an elderly disabled person who is currently on attendance allowance (see post subject line)

I checked the list of eligible criteria on BT's page

https://www.bt.com/terms/home-essentials#homeessplan

----------------------------------------

Home Essentials Plans are available for anyone on one or more of these state benefits:

Universal Credit (all claimant

Pension Credit (Guarantee Credit

Income Support

Jobseeker’s Allowance

You need to be receiving income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance to qualify for Home Essentials. People on contribution-based only JSA are not eligible. If you receive both income and contribution-based JSA, your income-based JSA must be higher

Employment and Support Allowance

You need to be receiving income-related Employment and Support Allowance to qualify for Home Essentials. People on contribution-based only ESA are not eligible. If you receive both income and contribution-based ESA, your income-based JSA must be higher

----------------------------------------

Question: does anyone know if "attendance allowance" is included in the ESA (Employment and Support Allowance) Criteria?

Thanks for your time

I believe the info you've posted from the page answers your question I', afraid - "You need to be receiving income-related Employment and Support Allowance to qualify for Home Essentials."
