THE PROFESSIONAL’S HANDBOOK
ON VA AID AND ATTENDANCE BENEFITS
The National Care Planning Council estimates that at least one third of all
seniors over 65 could be eligible for aid and attendance benefit, but only about
30% are actually receiving it.
Veterans receiving aid and attendance can also qualify for FREE medical care
from the Veterans Health Administration and for a grant of up to $1,200 for
home renovation projects to accommodate disability.
This book reveals the “SECRET” for those receiving home care, assisted
living and nursing home care on how to qualify for aid and attendance. More
than 240 pages devoted exclusively to aid and attendance.
A Software program is included for estimating Pension Benefits before and
after asset transfers. Forms and support material on CD.
This professional edition contains 164 pages of citations from federal code
and excerpts from VA manual 21-1 that help the professional planner further
define application issues pertaining to income, unreimbursed medical costs,
definition of the estate, determination of the asset test, marriage relationships,
death relationships, determination of veteran status, VA power of attorney,
VA fiduciary program, application for HISA grants, and many more issues
that may arise in helping clients qualify for aid and attendance benefits.
Numerous examples of aid and attendance benefits and case studies on the
process of making application are included. Asset reduction strategies are
presented for clients with household assets that exceed the estate value test for
qualification.
This edition contains nationwide addresses and contact information for all VA
health care centers, VA outpatient clinics, VA regional offices and state
veterans homes.
Thomas Day, Director of the National Care Planning Council, has written and edited
