Yes. It may be possible for wartime veterans and surviving spouses who have in-home care or who live in nursing-homes or assisted-living facilities to qualify for a special monthly pension benefit called Aid and Attendance. To qualify, candidates must be incapable of self support and in need of regular personal assistance.

For assistance with this benefit, or for other VA related questions, contact your local VA office or call 866-361-0138 to speak to a Veteran’s Benefits Specialist.
