Aid & Attendance Pension Veteran's Services
Did you know, if you are a wartime veteran, or the surviving spouse of a wartime veteran, you may be eligible for the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA)’s “Aid & Attendance” benefit, which can help pay for home care?
Millions of qualifying veterans and families go without this valuable benefit simply because of a lack of information or help that is afforded them.
