The financial assistance program known as Aid & Attendance comes directly from the United States government, is tax free and is deposited directly into the bank account of the veteran or surviving spouse for the rest of his or her life, as long as eligibility is maintained. National Veteran Support is a non-profit public benefit corporation whose purpose is to assist the senior veteran or his widow in understanding his or her qualifications for the Aid & Attendance benefit through counseling and education. Our goal is to see that the applications of qualified men and women get approved smoothly and easily the first time. We are a nationally recognized 501(c)(3) charity and non-profit public benefit corporation, and we are supported by your donations and membership. We are volunteers in support of veterans and their families. The Veterans Administration says that an informed claimant is much more likely to receive his or her rightfully earned benefits. Before applying for the benefit, one should learn as much as possible about it. The Aid & Attendance benefit is designed to provide financial aid to help offset the cost of long-term care for those who need assistance with some activities of daily living. The benefit is available to those veterans, or surviving spouses, who are 65 years of age or older and who are spending a majority of their income on qualified medical expenses.
