Christine A. Alsop is a VA Accredited Attorney
Veterans are entitled to important government benefits through the federal VA (U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs). If you or your spouse requires long-term care, you may be entitled to additional monthly benefits — above and beyond your military pension — to cover these costs.The Aid & Attendance and Housebound program is a unique benefit administered by the VA for veterans and their surviving spouses. It is designed to help veterans and their families with the increasingly exorbitant costs of in-home or institutional care. You may be entitled to benefits if you are a veteran or surviving spouse of a veteran, and:
- You are housebound
- You require a caregiver to assist you with tasks that are vital for daily functioning
- You are bedridden
- You are a nursing home patient, or
- You have severely limited vision
Depending on your situation, you may be able to obtain upward of $1,000 per month in additional benefits.
