VA Aid and Attendance/Housebound Benefits

---

Are you wondering if you qualify for VA Aid and Attendance or Housebound benefits? Pleasant Care Therapies is here to help you navigate the eligibility criteria and provide the necessary information. These benefits can provide crucial support for veterans who require assistance with daily activities or have limited mobility due to a disability. Read on to learn more about the eligibility requirements for each benefit:

1. VA Aid and Attendance Eligibility:

To be eligible for VA Aid and Attendance benefits, you must meet the following criteria:

• Need for Assistance: You require another person's help to perform daily activities such as bathing, feeding, and dressing.
• Bedridden: You spend a significant portion of the day confined to bed due to illness.
• Nursing Home Patient: You are a patient in a nursing home due to mental or physical disabilities resulting from a disability.
• Limited Eyesight: Your eyesight is severely impaired, with a visual acuity of 5/200 or less in both eyes, even with glasses or contact lenses. Alternatively, you have a visual field contraction to 5 degrees or less.

If you meet any of the above requirements, you may be eligible for VA Aid and Attendance benefits. These benefits can provide additional financial assistance to cover the costs of caregivers, assisted living, or in-home care.

2. Housebound Benefits Eligibility:

To qualify for Housebound benefits, you must meet the following criteria:

• Permanent Disability: You spend the majority of your time at home due to a permanent disability that significantly limits your mobility and does not improve over time.

It's important to note that you cannot receive both Aid and Attendance benefits and Housebound benefits simultaneously. You will need to determine which benefit aligns best with your situation and eligibility.
