What is the VA Pension?
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 for veterans or their surviving spouses. This monthly pension offers $1,500 - $2,200 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.
You may be eligible if you meet one or more of the criteria on the list below:
- You served at least one day during a designated active wartime
- You are at least 65 years of age
- You have a minimum of 90 days of active service before 1980 or a minimum of 24 months after September 7, 1980
- Your total estate (not including your primary residence) does not exceed $159,290
- You require assistance to perform activities of daily living, such as bathing, feeding, dressing, taking medication, etc.
- You are a patient in an assisted living facility, nursing home, or other similar facility due to mental and/or physical limitations
- Your eyesight is impaired or limited (even with the assistance of glasses or contacts, you have only 5/200 or less in both eyes; or concentric contraction of the visual field to 5 degrees or less)
