What Is the Veterans Aid and Attendance Special Pension?

The Veterans Aid and Attendance Special Pension is a benefit that many veterans are eligible for, but unfortunately, a lot of people are not aware of this benefit. This pension is something that sits apart from the military retirement pension that veterans earn after at least 20 years of service. Many elders require help with their activities of daily living at some point in time. In fact, the figure is 70 percent according to a government agency. Medicare does not pay for long-term care, and … [Read more...] about What Is the Veterans Aid and Attendance Special Pension?

With the cost of long-term care being what it is veterans benefits planning is very important for those who have served in the Armed Forces. How expensive is long-term care?  The costs are going up every year, so it is hard to predict exactly how high they will climb over the next few decades, but as of 2012 a year residing in a private room in a nursing home averaged over $90,000 in the United States.
