This is something that you will want to know about.
If you are a veteran, a spouse of a veteran, or the loved one of a veteran (or the loved one of a spouse of a veteran), you will want to know about this.
It is called the Aid and Attendance and Housebound allowance that is added to the monthly pension check. It is intended to help veterans and their spouses who either need some help with the tasks of daily living (cooking, cleaning, personal care) – or it can even be used to help pay for residential care at an assisted living facility.
Either way, it is a pretty great deal.
So often as we visit with veterans and their loved ones, we more often than not find two things to be the case:
- They do not know about the program
- They do not know the qualifications of the program
So here is a quick rundown of the what it takes to know if you, or someone you loves, qualifies. Just go through this initial checklist. And remember, spouses of veterans (whether the veteran has passed on or is still alive) can receive these benefits.
- Was the veteran honorably discharged?
- Did the veteran serve during a time of war
- Clarification – they did not need to be deployed to the war, as long as they served active duty during a war
- Second Clarification – this could be World War II, Korea, Vietnam, Gulf, etc
- Does the veteran (or spouse) have need of daily living activities due to either an illness or physical affliction?
If the answer is yes to these three questions, and you are looking at assisted living help, either at home or at an assisted living facility, then drop us a line and we will help you with the following:
- Understanding the application process with the VA
- Including helping you to know how to get the necessary paperwork regarding military service
- We cannot fill out or sumbit any paperwork. This must be performed by the applicant, or someone approved by the VA.
- Locating a home care company or an assisted living facility that will work with you as a veteran, the surviving spouse of a veteran, or their loved one.
