Aid & Attendance is a VA pension benefit that can help cover long-term care costs for qualifying wartime veterans and their surviving spouses.
Who may qualify
Veterans (or surviving spouses) who served during a wartime period, meet income and asset limits, and need assistance with daily activities.
A Veterans Service Officer (available for free through many veterans organizations) can help determine eligibility and file the application correctly.
