Do you know a Veteran or a spouse of a war-time Veteran that could use FREE home healthcare?
Below lists how the spouse of a Veteran may qualify. This will not impact any benefits that you currently receive.
VA Pension Benefits for Widows of Wartime Veterans
Widows of wartime veterans, or surviving spouses of deceased wartime veterans, may be eligible for a benefit from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) known as “Survivors Pension with Aid and Attendance”. Unfortunately, many women are unaware that they are eligible for this benefit.
What is the Survivors Pension with Aid and Attendance?
The Survivors Pension is a tax-free monetary benefit from the VA. If you’re a surviving spouse of a deceased veteran with wartime service, and your income and net worth meet certain limits set by Congress, you may be able to get this benefit. If you need help with your daily activities, you may qualify for additional Aid and Attendance funds.
The maximum Survivors Pension with additional Aid and Attendance funds is up to $1,558 per month.
Many women are overlooked when it comes to VA Benefits
It’s unfortunate but we often overlook the fact that wartime veterans are eligible for VA benefits even though they were not injured during service. Many don’t realize that you didn’t have to serve in combat or overseas to qualify for what is called the Aid and Attendance benefit. You can imagine if veterans themselves are unaware of the Aid and Attendance benefit, how many widows of qualifying veterans are also unaware that they qualify?
