It's not uncommon for Elderly and Senior individuals to have difficulty paying for some of the costs of daily living, especially without a steady source of income. As health declines, more doctor visits translates to more costs, and eventually a time may come where the Elder isn't capable of living at home independently.
For Elderly and Senior U.S. Veterans who qualify, the Veteran Administration provides two sources of financial aid called Veterans' Pension and Aid & Attendance to help low-income veterans pay for some of the costs of daily living.
For both benefits, the VA requires that the veteran meets certain requirements such as having served at least 90 days of active duty with at least one day during a wartime period and having income that doesn't exceed the Maximum Annual Pension Rate.
Aid & Attendance applicants must require the aid of another individual such as a caregiver for activities of daily living in order to stay independent at home. A&A applicants might be able to bypass the income requirement of Veterans' Pension if their income exceeds it.
