What Is the Aid and Attendance Pension?

The VA Aid and Attendance Pension and Housebound Pension provide monthly, tax-free financial assistance to qualifying veterans and surviving spouses. These benefits can be used for any purpose that supports care and quality of life, such as:

  • Paying for home care or in-home support

  • Covering the costs of assisted living or memory care

  • Making home modifications like walk-in showers or ramps

These benefits are designed to help veterans and their families remain safe, supported, and independent.

Eligibility Overview

Eligibility for VA pension benefits is based on several factors, including:

1. Military Service Requirements

  • The veteran must have served at least 90 days of active duty with at least one day during a recognized wartime period.

  • The veteran must have been discharged under conditions other than dishonorable.

2. Disability or Age
Depending on the type of pension, the veteran or surviving spouse must meet specific criteria, such as:

  • Being age 65 or older

  • Having a permanent and total non-service-connected disability

  • Residing in a care facility or needing regular assistance with daily activities (such as bathing, dressing, or eating)

  • Being housebound due to disability

3. Financial Requirements
Income and asset limits are set by the VA and updated annually. To learn about this year’s financial thresholds and requirements, please contact our office.
