| As a Veteran you are entitled to in-home care benefits you might not be aware of. Good Neighbor Support Services provides in-home care for veterans and their surviving spouses who require the regular attendance of another person. This service is available to you through the Aid and Attendance Program (A&A). This special pension may be available to you or your surviving spouse who are at least 65 years old. It is a non-service connected disability benefit, that does not need to be as a result of service. The process can take from 4-8 months to be processed. The Benefit is retroactive meaning from the date the application is submitted you may receive compensation so It is a good idea to keep a copy of all un-reimbursed medical bills for at least 12 months. |
