Aid and Attendance is an enhanced pension benefit designed for veterans or surviving spouses who require the aid of another person to perform daily living activities.
Eligibility depends on a combination of service history, medical condition, and the need for regular daily assistance, and a careful review of income and assets.
The Aid and Attendance benefit is part of the VA Pension program that provides additional monthly payments to help with care costs such as home health visits, assisted living, or nursing facility care.
Key elements include medical evidence of daily living needs, proof of service, income and asset review, and a structured claims plan that includes forms, medical opinions, and timely submissions.
Common terms you may see during the VA claims process and a brief explanation to help you understand each item.
