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. A service-connected disability is not a prerequisite for benefits, but applicants must have served during certain wartime periods and must meet certain financial qualifications.

Aid and Attendance benefits, as well as possible Medicaid benefits. Do not assume that it is too late to explore your options!
