Elderly veterans and their surviving spouses can receive additional financial assistance if eligible for VA pensions. This pertains to individuals who require assistance or cannot leave their residence.

These benefits are supplementary to a monthly pension and intended to assist with expenses related to senior care provided at home. Meeting the eligibility criteria for retirement is necessary to receive these benefits. A veteran or their surviving spouse is not eligible to receive both Aid Attendance and Housebound benefits simultaneously.

Visiting Angels Carlisle provides in-home care services for eligible veteran seniors. Our organization assists with VA benefits paperwork for aging adults in Carlisle.

Is My Senior Loved One Eligible for Aid & Attendance (A&A)?

Seniors who meet specific criteria may qualify for Aid & Attendance (A&A) benefits:

• If your loved one is a senior patient in a nursing home because of physical or mental incapacity
• If they are disabled or bedridden 
• If your aging loved one requires in-home care services such as assistance with feeding, bathing, dressing, toileting, mobility, and other daily activities.
• If they have reasonably limited vision (5/200 visual acuity or less in both eyes)

Senior veterans who are permanently disabled and homebound are eligible to receive an increased monthly pension to assist with care expenses.
