Have You Considered Veteran Aid and Attendance Benefits?

November 2, 2011 by Audra Bailey Wilcox Leave a Comment

If you’re a veteran of the armed forces, or if you’re the widow of a veteran, you should consider aid and attendance benefits. These benefits can offer you the assistance that is needed in order to live your daily life.  If you have been struggling to get the care and support that you need, it’s a good idea to look into this option. Take a look at the information below, to better understand the options that you may want to explore. If you have any questions, or if you’d like to discuss specific aid and attendance benefits, contact an estate planning attorney.

Many people don’t even know that these benefits exist.  These benefits include basic aid and attendance aid, as well as housebound aid for those with extreme disabilities and care needs. With the help of aid and attendance benefits, you can get extra assistance so that you’re able to get the care and assistance that you deserve.  Without this aid, you may struggle to pay for all of your care needs.

This aid is available regardless of service-related injuries.  This helps individuals with many different disabilities and care needs.  It’s also offered in addition to regular pension payments. Because these benefits are created in order to benefit those with disabilities and extra care needs, there are strict requirements that must be met to qualify.

What requirements will you need to meet?  You will need to show that you require additional care and assistance on a regular basis.  The requirements are even stricter, if you want to take advantage of the housebound aid. These requirements include proving that you’re disabled.  Both forms of aid also require you to show that you have little to no income.

If you have any questions, or if you’d like to discuss your veteran aid and attendance benefits options, consult with a qualified estate planning attorney.
