Many Elderly and Senior Veterans or their surviving spouses have gone through many difficulties in their lifetime. Whether it's coping with more than one deployment of their loved one, an injury during war, or the loss of a loved one, the Veteran Administration understands how this may have affected your lifetime and provides financial assistance to Elderly and Senior Veterans or their spouses.
The VA provides Veterans' Pension and the Aid & Attendance Benefit to aid with the costs of daily living, which can become increasingly burdensome for Elders and Seniors with health issues, no insurance, or an unsteady source of income.
Veterans' Pension and Aid & Attendance applicants must meet some general requirements such as being at least 65 years old and having served at least 90 days of active duty with at least one day during a wartime period.
The Veterans' Pension income requirement is more strict than it is for Aid & Attendance, as your household income cannot exceed the Maximum Annual Pension Rate that Congress sets.
For Aid & Attendance applicants, you must be able to prove that you need the assistance of a caregiver to perform activities of daily living and remain independent at home.
If you're an Elderly Veteran who needs home care and haven't applied for Veterans' Benefits, but feel that you may be eligible, let the case managers at A-1 Home Care help you secure your Veterans' Benefits as soon as possible.
Our case managers can provide assistance with determining your income eligibility, helping you plan what to submit as evidence for the Aid & Attendance Benefit, or applying online.
