Veterans Improved Pension with Aid and Attendance can help elderly and disabled veterans and their surviving spouses pay for at-home care, nursing care, and assisted living care. You do not need to have a service-connected disability to qualify for benefits, but you must have served during certain wartime periods and meet certain financial qualifications.
If you’re worried about how to pay for long-term care without wiping out your nest egg, contact our office. All of our lawyers are V.A.-accredited and can advise you about V.A. Aid and Attendance benefits, as well as possible Medicaid benefits. Do not assume that it is too late to explore your options! Even if your loved one is already receiving long-term care, we may be able to help you secure financial assistance. Schedule an appointment by calling our office at (561) 625-1100.
