About VA Aid & Attendance
What is it?
Aid & Attendance is a VA pension benefit available to wartime veterans and their surviving spouses who need help with daily activities. It can be used to pay for in-home care, assisted living, or memory care.
How much is it?
The benefit pays roughly $2,700/month for a veteran with a spouse, $2,300/month for a single veteran, and $1,500/month for a surviving spouse. Exact amounts adjust annually - verify current rates at va.gov.
How do you apply?
You apply through the VA with help from a VA-accredited claims agent. The process takes time - typically 3 to 6 months - so the sooner you start, the sooner benefits can begin. A claims agent can help at no cost to you.
