Who is Eligible for VA benefits?

Speaking broadly, anyone who served in any branch of the U.S. Armed Forces and received an honorable discharge.

Eligibility for VA Aid and Attendance and Respite benefits is determined by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) based on certain criteria. To be eligible, a veteran or their surviving spouse must meet the following requirements:

1.) Military Service:  The veteran must have serviced at least 90 consecutive days of active duty, with at least one day during a period of war time. The specific dates for wartime periods can be found on the VA website.

2.) Medical Condition: The applicant must have a medical condition that requires the regular assistance of another person for activities of daily living, such as:

Bathing

Dressing

Eating

Mobility

They may also be eligible if they are bedridden or have limited eyesight.

3.) Income and Assets: There are income and asset limitations for Aid and Attendance benefits. The VA considers the applicant's income, including pensions, social security, other sources, and net worth (excluding their primary residence and personal belongings). 

It is important to note that meeting these eligibility criteria does not guarantee approval for Aid and Attendance benefits. The VA will review each application on a case-by-case basis. It is recommended to contact your local VA office or visit the VA website for more detailed information and assistance with the application process.
