Veterans Ally helps veterans access benefits they’ve earned for their service.

The VA pension was created to help veterans cover living, medical, and other expenses.

Aid and Attendance (A&A) is a special or enhanced monthly pension for veterans or their surviving spouses. The pension is designed to offset costs for health, wellness, and additional daily needs.

You may be eligible if you meet one or more of the criteria on the list below:

• You are at least 65
• You served at least one day during wartime
• You have at least 90 days of active service before 1980 or at least 24 months after September 7, 1980
• Your net worth (not including your primary residence) does not exceed $138,489
• You require assistance to perform daily activities, such as bathing, dressing, toileting, taking medication, etc.
• You are a patient in a nursing home or assisted living facility due to physical and/or mental incapacities
• You experience visual impairments that impact your daily life, such as corrected visual acuity under 5/200 or concentric contraction of five degrees or less

You served your country. You made sacrifices for our freedom.

That’s why the VA has created a veterans pension fund that supplements your income to assist with healthcare required after age 65.

Simply put, these are your benefits. You’ve earned them through your service.

It takes veterans about 4–6 months to apply and start receiving their VA pension. The good news is that pension payments are backdated to the application date, so you’ll often receive several months back when the pension goes through.

Below is the step-by-step process on what to expect when applying for your VA benefits:
