Does the VA take most of the assets like Medicaid does?

My husband with dementia is a veteran eligible for VA care.

brit38 Feb 2015
So does VA allow a spouse to keep more of the savings/assets if the veteran has to go into their nursing home facility?

No they do not. VA does not have anything like MERP. They also allow greater amounts of assets in hand.
