Many families don’t realize that there is a VA benefit that can provide a benefit that will pay a portion of the senior assisted living facilities costs.
This financial aid benefit is called the aid and attendance benefit.
Actually, it is officially the non-service connected disability pension benefit. If the veteran is housebound and needs the assistance of another individual with basic care needs then they can qualify for a greater pension benefit.
It is this “improved” or “enhanced” entitlement of the non-service connected disability pension benefit that is called “aid & attendance entitlement.”
If the veteran has already passed, then there still is a financial assistance benefit available for his or her spouse.
It is called the Improved Death Pension benefit. The entitlement kicker which increases the payout amount is also called aid & attendance entitlement.
The dollar amount is lower for the surviving spouse and the widow must not have remarried to be eligible.
A free worksheet is available to walk you through the 5 qualifying criteria. You can get it above by clicking on the green “Benefit Eligibility Worksheet” link.
