The Aid & Attendance Program in Frankenmuth, MI and Surrounding Areas

Elderly veterans and/or their surviving spouses receiving Veterans Affairs pensions may be eligible for additional financial assistance from the VA if they require the aid and attendance of another individual or if they are housebound.

Bear in mind that these benefits are an addition to a monthly pension to help offset the costs of in-home senior care and cannot be granted without eligibility to one’s pension. Furthermore, a veteran or their surviving spouse may not receive Aid and Attendance benefits and Housebound benefits at the same time.
