VA Aid & Attendance Pension
The Allegiance Program for Veterans and Spouses
If you're a U.S. veteran or a surviving spouse of a veteran, you may be eligible for complete coverage of your home care and support needs thanks to the Veterans Aid & Attendance Pension. This little-known government pension program makes it possible for veterans and their spouses to receive tax-free benefits that will pay for all home care needs prescribed by a doctor. Read on to learn more about this pension and how Allegiance can help you determine your potential eligibility.
What is the Veterans Aid & Attendance Special Pension?
The Veterans Aid & Attendance Special Pension is a government program that makes it possible for veterans and their surviving spouses to receive nursing care at home or to move to an assisted living facility. You are eligible to receive this pension if you or your spouse:
- Served on active duty for at least 90 days
- Served at least one day during a period of war
- Received an honorable discharge
- Have been told by a doctor that you need daily living assistance
- Meet the income and financial requirements set by the VA
Despite the amount of money available to cover home care programs, most veterans and eligible spouses will never take advantage of this pension. It’s not widely publicized, and the few people who do know about it may not be willing or able to complete the rigorous application process on their own, resulting in flawed or incomplete requests that are ultimately rejected.
