Veterans Aid and Attendance Benefits for Families

Veterans Aid and Attendance is a powerful benefit that helps eligible veterans and their surviving spouses pay for long-term care. Despite over 1.4 million veterans living in Texas, many don’t know about this benefit, which can provide up to $2,727 per month. This funding can make the difference between struggling financially and accessing quality care.

Who Qualifies for Veterans Aid and Attendance

To qualify, veterans must:

• Have served at least 90 days of active duty, with one day during wartime.

• Require assistance with daily activities (e.g., bathing, dressing).

• Meet income and asset limits set by the VA.

Surviving spouses may also qualify if they were married at the time of the veteran’s death.

Benefits of Veterans Aid and Attendance

• Monthly Payments: Helps cover home care, assisted living, or nursing home costs.

• Financial Relief: Families may save tens of thousands of dollars per year.

• Independence: Veterans can receive care at home, delaying the need for nursing facilities.

For many Texas families, this benefit bridges the gap between military service and elder care needs.

Application Process and Challenges

The application requires medical records, financial disclosures, and service documents. Many applications are delayed or denied because families don’t provide complete evidence. Working with an attorney can help avoid these pitfalls and ensure quicker approval.
