Making Sure Veterans Receive the Benefits They Are Entitled To

As a veteran, you made sacrifices for our country. You were there for us when we needed you—now let us be there for you. Many U.S. veterans are unaware of the Aid and Attendance benefit. This benefit allows qualifying veterans and surviving spouses the ability to receive funding to pay for home care services.
