What is the veterans Aid and Attendance program? The Aid and Attendance (A&A) Pension provides benefits for veterans and surviving spouses who require the regular attendance of another person to assist in eating, bathing, dressing and undressing or taking care of the needs of nature. It also includes individuals who are blind or a patient in a nursing home because of mental or physical incapacity. Assisted care in an assisting living facility also qualifies. The A&A Pension can provide up to $1,794 per month to a veteran, $1,153 per month to a surviving spouse, or $2,127 per month to a couple. A veteran filing with a sick spouse is eligible for up to $1,410 per month. Many families overlook the A&A Pension as it pertains to veterans who are still independent, but have an ill spouse. Keep in mind that in this situation, if the spouse's medical expenses completely depletes their combined monthly income, the Veteran can file as a Veteran with a sick spouse. Debbie Burak is the founder of VeteranAid.org. She is often asked why she took on the mission to educate our veterans and their families about a little known VA pension benefit referred to as "Aid and Attendance" that can help offset the costs of care for senior veterans and their widows. She says, "The answer is a simple one - I know what it is to be that daughter out of hope, options, resources, and money to provide care for aging parents."
