Senior Veterans Benefits and Services

Comfort Keepers In-Home Care in Plymouth, New Hampshire.

Benefits and Services for the Older Veteran

(New Hampshire, November 2017)   Are you or a loved one missing out on the benefits and services you deserve as a war veteran? As veterans age, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) will provide benefits and services that address a variety of issues including the changing health risks they face, as well as financial challenges through VA benefits and health services.

What is the VA?

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs offers a wide range of benefits
for veterans, service members, and their families.

Who Is Eligible

  • A veteran
  • A veteran's dependent
  • A surviving spouse, child, or parent of a deceased veteran

Click on the benefits below for more information from the U.S. Department of Veteran’s Affairs.

Benefits Focused On Those 65+

A Pension can be received monthly if a veteran is a wartime veteran with limited income, and he or
she is permanently and totally disabled or at least 65 years old. There is no time limit to apply for Compensation and Pension benefits.
 

A Death Pension is payable to some surviving spouses and children of deceased wartime veterans.
The benefit is based on financial need.

Aid and Attendance allows for veterans and surviving spouses who need another person to assist them with eating, bathing, dressing, undressing, medication dosing, etc., to receive additional monetary benefits. This benefit includes vets who are cared for at home, in a nursing home, or assisted living facility.

What Is the Difference Between Aid and Attendance and Housebound Pensions? The care-needs and the rates of payment are the main difference. For an Aid and Attendance pension, the veteran must need activities of daily living such as dressing or bathing. For the Housebound pension, the veteran must be substantially confined to his or her immediate premises because of a permanent disability.
