Veterans who served on active duty for at least 90 consecutive days, including at least one full day during a time of war, may be eligible for Aid and Attendance if they also qualify for the basic Veterans Pension and meet the clinical and financial requirements.
Veterans and surviving spouses can add dependents to their Aid and Attendance claims. When a veteran is still married and his or her spouse needs care, the spouse is considered a dependent spouse. A married veteran can be awarded a Basic Pension if he or she has a dependent spouse.
What Are The Qualifying Conditions For VA Aid And Attendance Retirement Benefits?
Aside from what’s mentioned above, the Department of Veterans Affairs requires veterans to meet at least one of the following conditions to qualify for Aid And Attendance benefits:
- The veteran requires the aid of another “in order to perform personal functions required in everyday living, such as bathing, feeding, dressing, attending to the wants of nature, adjusting prosthetic devices, or protecting yourself from the hazards of your daily environment.”
- The veteran is bedridden, defined by the VA as having a disability (or multiple disabilities) that keeps the patient in bed “apart from any prescribed course of convalescence or treatment.”
- Veteran’s eyesight is limited to “a corrected 5/200 visual acuity or less in both eyes; or concentric contraction of the visual field to 5 degrees or less” according to the VA.
- The veteran is not required to meet all these conditions, just one of them is enough to justify consideration for Aid And Attendance payments.
Some surviving spouses and dependent children of veterans who have died may also be eligible for similar benefits through the VA Survivors Pension program.
