Suppose elderly veterans or their surviving spouses may qualify for extra financial help if they get VA pensions. This is if they need someone to help them or if they can't leave their home.

It's important to note that these benefits are in addition to a monthly pension and are meant to help cover the costs of in-home senior care. However, eligibility for assistance is required to receive these benefits. Additionally, a veteran or their surviving spouse can't receive both Aid Attendance and Housebound benefits simultaneously.

Visiting Angels Leesburg offers in-home care services for eligible veteran seniors. We also assist aging adults in Northern Virginia with VA benefits paperwork.

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

If your senior loved one meets certain conditions, they could receive Aid & Attendance (A&A) benefits:

• If they require in-home care services such as assistance with bathing, feeding, dressing, toileting, mobility, and other activities of daily living (ADL)
• If they are a senior patient in a nursing home due to mental or physical incapacity
• If they are bedridden or disabled
• If they have reasonably limited vision (5/200 visual acuity or less in both eyes)

Senior veterans who are permanently disabled and homebound may receive an increased monthly pension to help with care costs.
