Can VA benefits help pay for care?

Some Veterans and surviving spouses who already get a VA pension may qualify for Aid and Attendance or Housebound benefits. These add money to a VA pension when someone needs help with daily activities or is mostly stuck at home.

Apply through VA.gov or with VA Form 21-2680. A medical examiner fills out part of the form. Call 800-698-2411 or visit a VA office if you need help. Check with VA — we cannot promise who qualifies.
