If you are looking for another way to pay for long-term care, like in-home medical and non-medical care, nursing home, or assisted living and you or your spouse served in the military, did you know there is a cash benefit that you may qualify for?
Wartime veterans, 65 years and older, and their surviving spouses, may be entitled to a tax-free benefit called Aid and Attendance provided by the Department of Veteran Affairs (VA). The Benefit is designed to provide financial aid to help offset the cost of long-term care for those who need assistance with the daily activities of living such as bathing, dressing, eating, toileting, and transferring. An experienced local attorney could review your situation to determine if you qualify.
