Many veterans of wartime service are not aware of the fact that if they are 65 or older and on a limited income they may qualify for a VA Pension without being disabled. To qualify, a veteran must have served 90 days or more of active duty with at least one day during a period of war-time. (Individuals who enlisted after 9/7/80 must have served at least 24 months.)

Aid and Attendance, A&A, is a benefit paid when a veteran requires the aid of another person in order to perform ADL’s (Activities of Daily Living) such as bathing, feeding, dressing and using the toilet, or if a person is bedridden, or a patient in a nursing home is blind or nearly blind.
