Get Started with Home Care Through The VA Aid and Attendance Pension Benefit

Help with Activities of Daily Living

Activities of daily living (ADLs) are routine self-care activities that people tend to every day without needing assistance. There are six basic ADLs: eating, bathing, dressing, continence (using the toilet), mobility (transferring, walking), and grooming. Home care agencies provide aides who can assist those who need help with activities of daily living. Aid and Attendance helps wartime veterans and spouses pay for help with activities of daily living.

MORE ABOUT THIS VETERANS BENEFIT

In 1952 Congress passed Title 38 of the United States Code authorizing certain benefits for veterans. One of these benefits is the Non-Service Connected Pension, with โ€œAid and Attendance.โ€ It is also known as simply โ€œAid and Attendanceโ€ or โ€œVeterans Aid and Attendance benefitโ€ or โ€œAid and Attendance Pensionโ€ orย โ€œImproved Pension with Aid and Attendance.โ€

In March 1989, during President George H. W. Bushโ€™s presidency, the Veterans Administration (VA) was elevated to a cabinet-level executive department. The Veterans Administration was then renamed the Department of Veterans Affairs, and continued to be known as VA. Today the VA is comprised of three basic branches: the Veterans Health Administration (VHA), the Veterans Benefits Administration and the National Cemetery Administration (NCA).
