Did you or your spouse serve our country? You may be eligible for personal home care services for veterans!
VETERANS AID AND ATTENDANCE PENSION BENEFIT
Most veterans are not aware of an important benefit available through the U.S Government commonly known as the “Veterans Aid and Attendance Pension Benefit.” This VA benefit can provide up to $2,700 per month veterans and their surviving spouses can use for personal home care services – for the rest of their lives!
Getting help with long term care can be one of the greatest crises a veteran will face:
All seniors, regardless of their current health, should plan for their old age–a time when many could use help to continue to thrive and flourish while remaining in their chosen home environment. Indeed, the need for long-term care can be one of the greatest crises a veteran has faced since returning from war. Without help, an older veteran (or the veteran’s widow or widower) may forfeit one or all of the three most important lifestyle goals in old age:
- Remaining independent
- Having enough money
- Maintaining good health
Personal home care can help with health and independence. However, the cost of senior care could wipe out a lifetime of savings and drain equity in a home.
Even though one in three seniors might be eligible for the aid and attendance pension, very few people actually know about the VA Benefit!
HOW CAN YOU QUALIFY FOR UP TO $2,700 PER MONTH?
Are you are a veteran over age 65? Did you serve honorably in the active military service during a period of war? Are you a surviving spouse of a veteran, regardless of age? If so, you should find out if you qualify. You need to meet certain asset and income requirements. You also have to show you could benefit from assistance with activities of daily living. Flourish President, Kim Lee, recorded a podcast on Informed Aging that explains the benefit. https://www.buzzsprout.com/1833449/14693883
