Aid & Attendance provides Tax-Free Financial Assistance

Aid & Attendance is a federal pension benefit available to eligible veterans and surviving spouses through the Veterans Administration.   This is a tax-free, monthly pension.  Veterans/spouses with certain recurring health/medical expenses may be eligible for financial assistance to help pay for homecare services.

Currently, there are less than 600,000 individuals actually receiving financial assistance. This figure represents only 5% of the population which may be eligible, and who would qualify at some level for Aid & Attendance. Under the right conditions, many seniors (single, veterans) in this country could qualify to receive up to $2,358./month in tax-free funds from the Department of Veterans Affairs.

To receive the financial benefits, a veteran must have served on active duty during a period of war and received an honorable discharge. Service in combat is not required, only that the veteran was in a branch of the military service during wartime and was discharged honorably. Single surviving spouses of such veterans are also eligible. Additional eligibility requirements include a medical/health condition (or documented medical disability) that requires regular assistance with Activities of Daily Living (ADL’s), and financial need.

Unfortunately, few people know where to turn for basic information about this pension – whether or not they might be eligible – and how to apply. Contact Home Care Partners (781)-378-2164 to discuss application in greater detail.
