VA Aid and Attendance Benefits
Are you eligible for VA Aid and Attendance or Housebound benefits as a Veteran or survivor?
VA Aid and Attendance or Housebound benefits provide monthly payments added to the amount of a monthly VA pension for qualified Veterans and survivors.
What is Aid & Attendance?
Aid & Attendance is a nonservice-related tax-free pension paid monthly for the rest of the veteran’s or his/her dependent’s life. It is a direct deposit to your account.
If the necessary care is in place, A&A can be used to offset the cost of room and board in an assisted or independent living community. It can also help offset the cost of a third-party care provider in a community or at your home. (Source)
