Aid and Attendance Benefits
Federal
This benefit is an additional monetary
allowance, available to veterans and their spouses, who require care in
a long-term care setting, such as a nursing home.
A & A benefits may also be available to veterans who reside
outside of a nursing home, but who require the daily assistance of
another to live independently.
For more information, or for assistance
with an application for this benefit, contact your
County Veterans Service Office.
An important note. Widows
or widowers of veterans may be eligible for these benefits also,
provided they meet certain income requirements and if their spouse had
the necessary war time active duty military service.
