Anyone know the answers to these VA Aid and Attendance questions?

Your mother will need the discharge papers called DD214.

That's all I know.

You need to contact your County VA Dept and apply. You will need discharge papers etc. No, the benefit will go to Moms acct. You will need a blank check when applying. I would not allow the money to go directly to a NH. If she applies for Medicaid, the A&A will drop. Medicaid pays the higher of the 2 and u can't have both. I think she will get $90 a month in her PNA (personal needs acct)

Your best bets are to review information on the VA's website and ask the nursing home admin what their role is in benefit application.   They probably have someone well versed in VA applications and interactions.
