The Veterans Benefits Administration, a branch of the VA, offers tax-free, monthly monetary payments to certain wartime veterans with financial need, and their survivors. The Pension is a benefit for veterans who do not have a service-connected disability resulting from their military service. Aid and Attendance is an additional monetary amount that can be added to the VA’s Pension. The enhanced Aid and Attendance amount is available for those who need the “aid and attendance” of another person for their routine daily living activities on a permanent basis.
Activities of daily living (ADLs) are routine self-care activities that people tend do every day without needing assistance. There are six basic ADLs: eating, bathing, dressing, continence (using the toilet), mobility (transferring, walking), and grooming.
Family First Homecare provide aides who can assist those who need help with activities of daily living. Aid and Attendance helps wartime veterans and spouses pay for help with activities of daily living.
Aid and Attendance is a monetary add on to the basic veterans pension based on the veteran meeting certain medical criteria. In addition to the active duty and wartime service requirements, eligible veterans must also meet at least one of these criteria to qualify for the basic pension:
To be Eligible:
Monthly Amounts: Payments range from $1,432 to $3,536 per month.
Service: Eligible War Periods: World War II, Korean Conflict, Vietnam Era, American Merchant Marines and Gulf War.
90 days of active service, one day during a period of war. Active combat is not required.
Need For Aid: Living in an Assisted Living or Nursing Home. Receiving Home Care or Getting help from a friend or from a family member in your home.
Financial Limits: If you fit the service requirements and the need for aid, income and assets should not hold you back from getting benefits, if you do the proper planning.
Veterans and their surviving spouses can be eligible for money to help pay for their care.
