How to Access VA Aid and Attendance Benefits for US Veterans and Surviving Spouses

Aid and Attendance is a special benefit from the Department of Veterans Affairs. It adds monthly payments for veterans and surviving spouses who need help with daily activities like bathing, dressing, eating, or moving around. Eligibility generally depends on service history, financial status, and a medical evaluation confirming the need for personal care, assisted living, or nursing support. Veterans who are housebound or living in a care facility may also qualify. Surviving spouses may receive similar support if they meet the same guidelines. Applicants must submit VA Form 21-2680 along with medical records and financial documents to prove ongoing care needs and speed up their claim.
