VA Aid and Attendance Benefits and Housebound Allowance

This veteran benefit provides financial assistance to veterans and their spouses who need daily living activity assistance. Qualifications for the Aid and Attendance benefits include a minimum service requirement, income, and asset limits. 

The funds received from Aid and Attendance Benefits are tax-free and available for multiple services, including the home care provided by Visiting Angels Sheboygan. 

You can contact your local VA to get the process started. The process for acceptance of these benefits can be lengthy and requires many forms of documentation. We can help you navigate your VA benefits and get the most out of them. 

Applying for Your VA Benefits

VA benefits are great for aging veterans who want to remain independently at home with a little help from Visiting Angels' in-home care services. While the process can be lengthy for receiving your benefits, the steps to getting them are fairly simple.

First, learn which documents you need to send to the VA. These documents can take time to track down, so getting them is a top priority. 

Second, fill out the correct VA application forms. Multiple forms are needed to get your pension and benefits from the VA.

Third, mail the application and wait for the approval of your benefits.
