I am looking for information regarding veterans benefits. Aid and attendance. Anyone know about it?

Yes, the person must be 100% with at least 60% of disability in one area of ADLs.
Also look into having a VA in home tram to provide medical care.
Cntact the SW assigned to their team at VA hospital and they can do the paperwork. I went through our in home tram SW and she got it done in less than 45 days.

My mom was married to a military person. He divorced her. Is she eligible for A&A? She gets part of his pension.

Make appointment with local VA office. Have Dr fill out the form that she needs 24/7 help with ADLs & is homebound. If you bring that form with you to appointment along with Vet’s war papers, it won’t take as long. I don’t remember form number, but ask when making appointment or look up at http://www.VA.org ...but first step is to make appointment with them. Hugs 🤗

Patriot Angels are great to work with and will speed up the process. They work hard to get you the maximum amount allowed.

Hi Donna
there are several articles here on Agingcare.com and hundreds of posts you can search through. Read a bit about it and then ask more specific questions if you like.
The VA website has the forms you’ll need a doctor to sign etc.

You need to contact the VA in your county. To receive A&A the Vet had to serve during War time. The VA will tell u what u need and help with the application.
