My father has 2 IRA accounts and receives money each month from them. Are these considered assets?
Dad has 2 IRA's worth a sizable amount of money but he gets money from the interest each month to help him live. When he moves in with me and my family due to care needs will these IRA's affect the type of financial help we could get from the VA?
From the VA booklet: Countable income. Includes income from most sources as well as from any eligible dependents. It generally includes earnings, disability and retirement payments, interest and dividend payments from annuities, and net income from farming or a business. Some expenses, such as unreimbursed medical expenses, may reduce your countable income.
