Unlock Your Eligibility for Tax-Free VA Pension Benefits
Learn about the Aid & Attendance program and how it can support your daily living needs.
The VA pension was created to help veterans cover common household, health, medical and other related expenses. Aid & Attendance (A&A) is a monthly supplemental pension benefit for veterans or their surviving spouses. This monthly pension offers $1,500 – $2,795 per month in additional income, supplementing Social Security, pensions, or disability benefits, helping to offset costs for assistance in daily living activities and other health and wellness needs.

Take the First Step Towards Securing Your Pension Benefits
The VA pension application process typically takes 4-6 months to complete. However, the good news is that pension payments are retroactive to the application date, meaning you'll often receive several months back pay once your pension is approved.
Step 1: Determine Your Eligibility
Complete our Aid & Attendance (A&A) form to assess if you qualify for the VA pension. This quick step connects you with our team to begin the process.
Step 2: Personalized Assistance
Once your form is submitted, you'll be paired with a dedicated representative who will guide you through gathering necessary documents and meeting all deadlines.
Step 3: Document Collection
Your representative will assist you in collecting and organizing essential documents, including:
- Proof of military service (e.g., DD-214)
- Medical records
- Identification
- Income and asset information
Step 4: Application Submission
We handle the submission of your complete application to the VA, ensuring all paperwork is accurately filed and tracked throughout the process.
Step 5: Receive Your Benefits
After approval, typically within 4-6 months, your VA pension benefits will be directly deposited into your bank account. Payments are often retroactive to your application date, providing several months of back pay.
