Aid & Attendance

  • Wartime veterans and their surviving spouses, 65 years and older, may be entitled to a tax-free benefit called Aid and Attendance provided by the Department of Veteran Affairs.

    The Benefit is designed to provide financial aid to help offset the cost of long-term care for those who need assistance with the daily activities of living such as bathing, dressing, eating, toileting, and transferring.

    American Veterans Aid, a private company, is dedicated to helping war era veterans and their surviving spouses receive this Benefit which they so deserve.

    • Is the veteran 65 or older? If you are a surviving spouse, answer "Yes" to this question as there is no age requirement.

      Did the veteran serve during a period of war?

      Is the veteran or spouse, now or in the very near future, in need of assistance with one or more of the daily activities of living such as bathing, dressing, eating, transferring/mobility, and toileting?

      Is the veteran or spouse currently receiving a VA benefit for service connected injury or illness that is more than $2,000 per month?
