Veteran Aid and Attendance Program: This program is a special pension benefit offered by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to eligible veterans, surviving spouses, and dependents who require the assistance of another person to perform daily activities. The Aid and Attendance program provides financial support to help cover the costs of in-home care, assisted living, or nursing home care. Eligibility for this program is based on several factors, including the level of care required, financial need, and service history. Benefits can be used to help pay for personal care services, medical supplies, and other necessary expenses associated with maintaining a good quality of life.
