Yes! There are unique pension benefits available to help veterans who served during a war period, or their widows, pay for services. However, there are asset and income limits to qualify for these benefits and are only offered if the service, financial and medical qualifications are met.
Veterans can also qualify for additional funds monthly that can be used for medical supplies and medicines from the Department of Veterans Affairs. This benefit is called Aid and Attendance Pension. Veterans receiving a monthly pension that meet specific parameters may qualify. More information on how to file for benefits, what they cover and forms is available at VA.GOV.
To discuss your situation, please reach out to the Oaks Senior Living community you are interested in, and we will be happy to help you through the financial process.
