The Aid and Attendance benefit is a monthly Pension payment that can be used to help cover the costs of long-term care. This includes in-home care, assisted living, nursing home care, and other forms of long-term care.

First, you or your spouse must have served in the military for at least 90 days, with at least one day during a period of war time.
