Staying At Home
Most of us do not want to be a burden to our family and friends, but sometimes we need help doing the things we always did for ourselves. The Aid & Attendance benefit pays for Home Care allowing you to receive the care you need to stay in your own home. We can help you apply for this important benefit.
Veterans Care Providers Inc., a 501(c)3 non-profit charitable organization, works within local communities to insure all veterans receive pension and other benefits to which they are entitled.
Aid & Attendance is a little known and under used VA Pension Benefit . This pension is available to veterans and surviving spouses who require the regular attendance of another person. The maximum benefit payable in 2009 for a veteran with one dependent is $23,396 per year.
