Without a retirement plan or long term insurance, many Elderly and Senior individuals find themselves in dire financial situations and must go to extremes such as borrowing money that they may not be able to pay back.
For Elderly and Senior U.S. Veterans in a tough financial spot, the Veteran Administration provides two sources of financial aid that they may be eligible for. Veterans' Pension and the Aid & Attendance Benefit have helped many Elderly and Senior individuals pay for the costs of daily living and essential services such as home care.
Some of the requirements include having served at least 90 days of active duty with at least one day during a wartime period, being at least 65 years old, and having an income that does not exceed the Maximum Annual Pension Rate set by Congress.
For the Aid & Attendance Benefit, applicants must require the in-home care assistance of another individual in order to accomplish basic activities of daily living and personal care.
If you're an Elderly or Senior Veteran seeking home care services and think you may be able to qualify for Veterans' Pension or Aid & Attendance, the case managers at A-1 home Care | A-1 Domestic can help.
