Aid and Attendance

The VA Aid and Attendance benefit is officially an entitlement that allows for a greater benefit amount on the two VA disability benefits.

These two VA disability benefits are the Disability Pension and the Compensation Benefit.

The VA Pension benefit is known as the ‘Non-Service Connected Disability Pension Benefit with Aid and Attendance Entitlement’.   That is the VA disability benefit that this site discusses.

This Pension is a benefit paid to wartime veterans (means you served 90 days of active duty with 1 day during a stated official time of war) who have limited or no income, (qualified expenses can reduce your income for eligibility) and who are age 65 or older, or, if under 65, who are permanently and totally disabled (not related to your service).

Veterans who are more seriously disabled may qualify for Aid and Attendance or Housebound benefits.    These VA Aid and Attendance benefits that are paid in addition to the basic pension rate.

To qualify for the VA Pension you DO NOT have to have retired from military service.

You just must have served at least 90 days of active duty with just 1 day during an officially stated period of war.
