The Aid & Attendance Benefit
The Department of Veteran Affairs offers a special benefit to war era veterans and their surviving spouses called Aid and Attendance.
This is a tax-free benefit designed to provide financial assistance to help cover the cost of long-term care in the home, in an assisted living facility or in a nursing home.
This Benefit is for those veterans and surviving spouses who require the regular attendance of another person or caregiver in at least two of the daily activities of living such as bathing, dressing, eating, toileting, and transferring.
Remember- once approved, awarded funds go straight to the veteran or widow(er); not the care provider(s).
The most important advice is to utilize an expert to review your personal situation and possibly creating a strategy for income and asset planning to be awarded an approval.

About Our Founder
As founder of U.S. Benefits Group and Keystone Elder Planning LLC, we are proud to introduce Allan Cruickshank. Allan is well known across the United States as the go-to “Veteran Benefits Guy!” Over the years hundreds of Veterans and Widows have sought out Allan to help them navigate the very confusing VA Claims process.
Thousands of people have attended Allan’s Veterans Benefits seminars over the years that covered this little-known, A&A Pension. Us Benefits Group as a team has a simple process to walk clients through this very-difficult program.
This streamlined process starts with gathering pre-qualification information to see if there is a path to help get an approval right away or in as fast a time as possible. There is a lot of false information out there regarding qualification due to income and asset levels. Although income and assets are taken into consideration, with proper planning many claimants are-able to get an approval!
