How to Apply for the

Pension can provide an additional monthly income of up to $2,019 a month for a couple, $1,703 a month for a single veteran or $1,094 a month for a single surviving spouse of a veteran. The majority of veteran households typically only qualify for pension when these households are incurring the high costs of home care, assisted living or nursing home care. Under certain conditions, VA considers these costs to be medical expenses.

This book contains information that VA does not volunteer to the public about how to receive a successful pension award. VA typically tells callers to go ahead and fill out the application but provides no information on the annualization of recurring medical costs. The claims form also contains no information on this important issue. One simply has to know how to do it. This crucial step can make the difference between a successful award and being declined. All necessary forms for filing a claim are in the book.
