Providing The Money You Need For Long-Term Care

The VA Aid and Attendance program provides pensions to help eligible veterans or eligible widowed spouses pay for care. It also allows for a family member, such as a son or daughter, to provide this care. The Aid and Attendance program can be used to help pay for in-home professional nursing care, assisted living rent, medical insurance premiums, prescription drug co-pays and much more.

At Law Office of Amy B. Van Fossen, P.A., we can determine if you are eligible for these benefits, and if so, we can help you obtain them. Our law firm has assisted veterans and their widowed spouses in Brevard County to preserve their assets and remain in their own homes for as long as possible by using other financial resources, such as the VA Aid and Attendance pension program. Contact our Melbourne, Florida, veterans’ Aid and Attendance attorney today.

Who Is Eligible For A VA Aid And Attendance Pension Benefits?

The Aid and Attendance program will pay qualifying veterans up to $2,230 per month and the widowed spouses of veterans up to $1,209 per month. In order to be eligible for this program, the veteran or his or her spouse must meet the following requirements:

  • The veteran or spouse must have valid medical expenses, which may include long-term care needs.
  • The veteran must not have received a dishonorable discharge.
  • The veteran must have served at least one day during a wartime period and at least 90 days on active duty.
  • The veteran or spouse must meet certain asset and income restrictions.

Do not assume that your net worth or income is too high to qualify for a pension. Talk to Melbourne veterans’ Aid and Attendance attorney Amy B. Van Fossen to see if you are eligible for this veterans’ benefit.
