Aid and Attendance benefit for Wartime Veterans – most Veterans are unaware of this benefit

I am proud to announce that the Firm of Sabrina Winters, Attorney at Law, PLLC is now assisting wartime veterans and surviving spouses of deceased wartime veterans in receiving a special monthly pension benefit called Aid an Attendance. This is not a new program. Too many veterans are unaware that they may be entitled to it.

The Aid and Attendance may be available to wartime veterans and surviving spouses who have in-home care or who live in nursing homes or assisted living facilities. This benefit allows many to enjoy a higher quality of life when their cared needs have increased. Benefits range from $1,056 to $2,540 per month.

The Veteran must meet both Asset and Income requirements according to the Veterans Administration Rules and Regulations. However, if the Veteran exceeds these limits, there are carefully structured trusts that can be used to allow him or her to become eligible.

I welcome Veterans who are residents of North Carolina as well as their family members to contact our office with any questions so that we many provide you with the information necessary to understand the VA benefit and the application process.
