Aid & Attendance Benefit

Veterans Affairs (VA) offers service members and their surviving spouses a unique, tax-free benefit entitled Aid & Attendance.

This benefit is for senior veterans and their spouses who require regular, scheduled caregiver assistance for at least two daily activities. These can include bathing, dressing, eating, going to the bathroom, and transferring.
