The Aid and Attendance Program
The Aid and Attendance pension program provides eligible veterans with a number of benefits. First and foremost, it allows a veteran or widowed spouse to pay anyone, including his or her child, for home care. It can also be used to help offset the cost of in-home professional care, assisted living fees, nursing care, insurance premiums, prescription drugs, co-pays and more. Bottom line? The Aid and Attendance pension program can allow a veteran or widowed spouse to pay for care, whether at home or in an assisted living community, preserve assets, and stay out of a nursing home for as long as possible. It pays up to $2,127 for the eligible veteran and over $1,153 to the eligible spouse to assist with medical expenses and the cost of long-term care.
