What is the VA Aid & Attendance Pension?
The Aid & Attendance benefit is a monthly pension provided by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to help wartime veterans and their spouses cover the cost of daily care needs such as help with bathing, dressing, or supervision due to memory loss.
If you're over age 65, have served during a wartime period, and need assistance with activities of daily living, you may be eligible.
Important: This benefit is offered only by the VA. We help you understand the requirements and prepare your application under legal supervision.
