Suppose you are a veteran or the surviving spouse of an elderly veteran living in East Central Indiana and require another individual's aid and attendance. You may qualify for additional financial assistance through the VA if you meet specific qualifications. In addition to being a veteran's pension recipient, one must have been awarded aid and attendance.

Furthermore, a veteran or their surviving spouse may not receive Aid Attendance and Housebound benefits simultaneously.

Assistance can be provided by someone other than your parent, spouse, or favorite grandchild. Many parents of elderly veterans become ineligible for direct benefits and resort to these alternative programs to avoid financial hardships.
