Many veterans who have dedicated their lives to serving our country are entitled to numerous benefits, including special pensions that can significantly aid with long-term care costs. However, many of these benefits, like the VA Pension with Aid and Attendance, remain underutilized largely because veterans and their families are often unaware of their existence.

What is the VA Pension with Aid and Attendance?

The VA Pension with Aid and Attendance is a tax-free monetary benefit designed to provide financial assistance to wartime veterans and their surviving spouses who require daily support. Eligibility for this pension depends on several factors including service during wartime, medical needs, and financial thresholds.

Eligibility and Benefit Details

To qualify for the Aid and Attendance benefit, veterans or their spouses must require assistance with daily activities or be bedridden. The financial criteria involve income and net worth evaluations, which we detail comprehensively on our qualification information page.

Current Maximum Benefit Amounts as of 2023:

• Married Veteran : $2,642 monthly / $31,714 annually
• Single Veteran : $2,229 monthly / $26,752 annually
• Healthy Veteran with Sick Spouse : $1,750 monthly / $21,001 annually
• Surviving Spouse : $1,432 monthly / $17,888 annually

These benefits are particularly aimed at veterans of World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War. Gulf War veterans are also eligible, though fewer are currently in need of long-term care due to their relatively younger age.
