Are you or your loved one eligible for VA Aid and Attendance or Housebound benefits as a Veteran or survivor?
What is the VA Aid and Attendance Benefit?
Aid & Attendance is a non service-related tax-free pension paid monthly for the rest of the veteran’s or his/her dependent’s life. It is a direct deposit to your account.
If the necessary care is in place, A&A can be used to offset the cost of room and board in an assisted or independent living community. It can also help offset the cost of a third-party care provider in a community or at your home.
Who Qualifies?
There are certain requirements that must be met in order to qualify for Aid and Attendance Benefits. These criteria are listed on the Where You Live Matters website (linked below.)
Potential Benefit Amounts
Payments are disbursed directly to the qualifying veteran, and how much you receive every month will vary based on counted income, number of dependents, assets and expenses. For 2024, the maximum annual A&A pension rates are:
- Veteran may qualify for up to $2,300 per month
- Married Veteran may qualify for up to $2,727 per month
- Surviving Spouses may qualify for up to $1,478 per month
