Veteran’s Aid & Attendance Program

I have had numerous clients come to me with questions relating to the Veteran’s Aid and Attendance Benefits program. Most of these clients are looking for ways to help pay for assisted living and in home

care. They hope to delay nursing home care and ultimately application for Medicaid/Medical Assistance. I thought it would be helpful to provide you with some information and resources to use in efforts to obtain Veteran’s Benefits.

VA Pension benefits can be a valuable financial support for a Veteran or the widow of a Veteran. Check out the Veteran’s website by clicking here. A Veteran’s widow will have to file form 21-534 which can be viewed by clicking here. A Veteran will have to file form 21-526 which can be viewed by clicking here.
