Celebrating our Veterans
The Aid and Attendance pension that is available for Veterans and surviving spouses of Veterans who have a non-service related disability is a greatly under-utilized benefit that many people are unaware of. Personal-Touch Home Care takes great pride in making sure that our communities are enlightened with this valuable information by increasing awareness about this pension on a daily basis.
In order to qualify for the pension, the Veteran must have served at least 90 days active duty in the military, with at least one day during wartime. The applicant must be at least 60% housebound (no longer driving), which will require certification by a licensed physician. And last but not least, the applicant must meet certain income and asset limits.
To begin the process, the applicant must have the Veteran’s discharge papers (DD214), death and marriage certificates if the client is a surviving spouse and a marriage certificate and be able to provide information to the VA regarding their medical/financial situations. Many staff members at Personal-Touch Home Care, Inc. are knowledgeable about this pension and how it applies to their home care needs. If you know of anyone that may qualify for any of these benefits, please reach out to our NJ Marketer, Meg Lebedz at 732-397-0838 for further information.
We would like to take a moment to honor and thank our Veterans for their service to our country. Today and every day, we are grateful to you.
