]]> Comment on Aging relatives and parent care by Debbie Burak http://caregiverunderground.com/aging-relatives-and-parent-care/#comment-3674 Debbie Burak Sat, 19 Sep 2009 18:29:45 +0000 http://caregiverunderground.com/?p=41#comment-3674 There is a hidden VA financial resource available to our veterans and their surviving spouses that can represent over $23,000 annually to help pay for care. The VA’s Improved Pension is a 3-tier Pension Benefit that includes Basic, Housebound, and Aid and Attendance.

This little known VA Pension has been an entitlement for 58 years sitting idle. The veteran does not have to been injured during his service as this is a Pension and not disability. Currently there are over 2 million widows alone missing out simply because they don’t know about it.

As the daughter of a WWII veteran I discovered the pension at the passing of my dad. I applied on behalf of my mom as his widow, and she was awarded the Pension. Had we known during the 9 years they were both in assisted care they would have received over $160,000 to offseet the costs of their care.

I launched veteranaid.org 4 years ago with the hope of making a difference for another son or daughter while honoring the sacrifice of service.

The site is the most respected resource on the subject of Aid and Attendance. I hope this information will make a difference for someone you love.

I’m generally not in favor of the govt getting into anything like this, but I AM in favor of getting all uninsured citizens covered by insurance and there’s no reason why this can’t be done through Medicare and Medicaid … just change the rules … and don’t establish any huge sprawling expensive govt agency to do it. We already have an agency, and it may need to be expanded, more people, more offices, but that’s ok.
But get some of this end-of-life help included.
