The veterans of our country are entitled to health benefit programs from our federal government. However, few take advantage of the Non-Service Connected Improved Pension Benefit, commonly referred to as the "Aid and Attendance" benefits program. The program's purpose is to assist Veterans as well as spouses or widows with paying their out-of-pocket medical expenses.
Veteran Affairs (VA) considers the program as one of the department's most underutilized offerings. Here's why: most veterans do not know about it, or how to apply.
This is a "pension benefit" and is not dependent upon service-related injuries for compensation. This Special Pension which is part of the VA Improved Pension program, allows for Veterans and surviving spouses who require the regular attendance of another person to assist in eating, bathing, dressing, undressing or taking care of the needs of nature to receive additional monetary benefits. It also includes individuals who are blind or a patient in a nursing home because of mental or physical incapacity. Assisted care in an assisted living facility also qualifies. Most Veterans who are in need of assistance qualify for this tax free pension.
The guide provides:
- A detailed description of the benefit
- Information on eligibility through a pre-qualification screening
- Step by step assistance for answering questions and accessing the supporting documentation to be filed with your initial claim
- Where to find assistance with completing the application process
