There are many benefits available through the Department of Veterans Affairs for those who served. If you are a veteran, veteran spouse, or have a friend or family member in need of health care, you may be eligible for one such little known benefit. Aid and Attendance and Housebound Improved Pension benefit, known as A&A, can cover the Monday, Nov. 11 costs of caregivers in the home (including sons and daughters who are paid to be caregivers, though Thank you not spouses) or be used for assisted living or a nursing home. The benefit is not insignificant: Up to for your service! $2,019 monthly for a veteran and spouse, and up to $1,094 for the widow of a veteran. To qualify, a veteran need not have suffered a service-related injury. He or she only had to have clocked at least one day of his or her 90-day minimum military service during a time of war and need caregiving for activi- ties of daily living, e.g. eating, bathing, dressing and undressing, transferring and the needs of nature. Applying can be confusing and arduous. If you know the program’s name and search the Veterans Affairs Web site for Aid and Attendance, the first page states, among other things, that you are not eligible for A&A unless you already qualify for a basic Veterans Affairs pension — for which you have to be “ totally disabled .” What people don’t know is that when wartime veterans turn 65, the V.A. automatically classifies them as ‘totally disabled.” The department does not reveal maximum allowable assets. But $80,000 (the house and a car are exempt from this total) seems to be in the ballpark, though someone with more assets could still qualify if expenses were very high. Income limits are not set in stone either. But the maximum is around $20,000 to $23,000 after deducting costs for medical ex- penses, caregivers, assisted living or nursing home fees. Some people are taking advantage of A&A to protect assets.
