The VA aid and attendance pension benefit is up to $2000 for an eligible veteran and spouse. The surviving spouse of a veteran may also be eligible. This benefit has very specific guidelines and their must be sufficient medical expenses. It is a good idea to consult with an Attorney who specializes in Eldercare law and has experience with VA benefits and Medicaid.

If you agree to copays, and that balance exceeds 90 days, the VA notifies Treasury. Treasury places that name in a database and uses it to claim the refund up to the amount of the balance to VA. You then get a letter notifying you and you can then contact VA if you dispute the balance. Treasury also includes in the database State taxes owed and not paid along with child support arrears and student loans.

Most likely - Go to veteranaid.org and look under VA Aid and Attendance Benefit.

This company has been very helpful in assisting with the VA application for financial aid with the Department of Veteran Affairs. Prior to contacting them I had never heard of the Aid and Attendance benefit for my father who served in WWII. The Benefits Consultant did a very good job of explaining the benefit and how it would apply to paying for in home care or for a caregiver. There service fee is very reasonable and best of all there is a money back guarantee if my father is disapproved to receive the benefit. I would recommend them to any family interested in receiving the benefit for their loved one.
