VETERANS NEWS & INFORMATION
"Aid and Attendance"
Regardless of your personal status, consider passing this along to all veterans, families of veterans or individuals with veterans in their family.
"Aid and Attendance" is an underutilized special monthly pension benefit offered by the Veterans Administration for veterans and surviving spouses who require in-home care or live in nursing homes.
To qualify, a veteran (includes the surviving spouse) must have served at least 90 days of active military service, one day of which is during a period of war, and must be discharged under conditions other than dishonorable.
The veteran's benefit is $18,234 annually (paid monthly) and increases to $21,615 if a veteran has one dependent.
The surviving spouse alone is $11,715 annually.
