The Aid and Attendance benefit, available through the Department of Veterans Affairs, is a non-service connected pension benefit for Veterans or spouses who require the aid and attendance of another individual to perform the personal functions required in everyday living.  This benefit has proved to be very helpful to those Veterans and/or spouses who reside in assisted living facilities or require care at home.
