VA Aid & Attendance Benefit
Aid and Attendance (A&A) is an enhanced pension benefit available to eligible wartime veterans who require the regular assistance of another person to perform activities of daily living. It is not limited to service-connected disabilities — it is a needs-based benefit available to those who meet financial and care-need criteria. Surviving spouses of qualifying veterans may also be eligible.
Navigating the Application
The VA benefits application process can feel overwhelming. Beyond Care works with veteran families to document care needs, understand eligibility, and coordinate care. We recommend connecting with a VA-accredited claims agent or Veterans Service Organization (VSO) — such as the American Legion, VFW, or DAV — for free assistance with claims.
Quality Care While Benefits Are Pending
VA benefit applications can take time to process. Many families begin care on a private pay basis and transition to VA-funded care once the claim is approved. Benefits are often retroactive to the application date. Our team can help you plan around the timeline.
