Increase in Veterans Aid & Attendance Benefits for 2012
12/29/2011 @ 3:10:PM By Moynihan_Lyons
We have just received notice of the amount of the 2012 increase to the Aid & Attendance benefit. Starting in January, married Veterans can receive up to $2,019/mo. in reimbursement for unreimbursed medical expenses. Single Veterans can receive up to $1,703/mo. And Surviving Spouses may be eligible for up to $1,094/mo.
This is the first increase since 2009. Those who are currently receiving Aid & Attendance should see this increase reflected in their January payments.
If you think that someone might benefit from accessing this benefit, please give us a call. Too many people believe or have been told that “they can’t qualify” when that is just not true.
