Senior Veterans and Their Spouses Benefits for Assisted Living or Home Care Costs

One of the most widely unknown benefits available to our Senior Veterans is The Department of Veterans Affairs' Aid & Attendance Program. This program was established in 1952 by an Act of Congress under section 38 USC. It is a mandatory pension not subject to discretionary budget cuts. This benefit is designed to reimburse Veterans and their surviving spouses for expenses associated with assistance with activities of daily living due to non service related disabilities. This expense can be incurred at home or as part of an assisted living facility's services.
