Veteran Assistance

Veterans who served during wartime may qualify for Aid and Attendance — a VA benefit that pays up to $2,300 a month to help cover home care, assisted living, or nursing home costs. Many veterans have never applied because nobody told them this benefit exists. Eligibility is based on your service dates, not whether you saw combat. Surviving spouses of qualifying veterans may also qualify. State veteran programs add more benefits on top of the federal ones, including property tax breaks, free license plates, and burial help. These guides explain every major veteran benefit for seniors, who qualifies, and how to apply without paying a consultant.
