Aid and Attendance Benefit

The Aid and Attendance Benefit is a financial support program offered by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs for eligible veterans and their surviving spouses. It helps cover costs related to long-term care, such as help with daily activities like bathing, dressing, and eating, which may be needed due to disabilities or age-related issues. This benefit can provide additional monthly funds to assist with in-home care, assisted living, or nursing home expenses. Eligibility depends on service history, income, and asset requirements. It's designed to enhance the quality of life for those who have served.
