My father lives with me a receives VA Aide & Attendance benefit. I have a home health aide during the week. For evenings and weekends I am taking care of him myself. Can he provide my money from the benefit for caring for him. If so, is this considered taxable income for me?
Also, I claim him as a dependent. This is valid because I pay all the expenses in the HH including his (food, clothing, heat, etc.). Can I still claim him a dependent if I am getting paid for his health needs through the VA benefit?
