Your Veteran Earned This Benefit. Most Families Never Use It.

VA Aid & Attendance is a needs-based pension that pays wartime veterans and surviving spouses a monthly amount toward in-home care. As an enrolled VetAssist provider, A-Team guides the whole process and can begin care before the benefit is approved.

WHO QUALIFIES

Veterans and Families Who Most Often Qualify

Surviving spouse of a wartime veteran

A surviving spouse who did not remarry may qualify for Aid & Attendance toward their own care.

Younger veterans with service-connected conditions may also qualify for in-home support.

VetAssist & VA Aid & Attendance FAQ

The most common questions Greater Philadelphia and Bucks County veteran families ask about VetAssist.

Does the veteran need a service-connected disability to use VetAssist?
No. VA Aid & Attendance is a needs-based pension benefit, not disability compensation. The veteran needs qualifying wartime service, a physician-certified care need, and income and assets within VA limits.
Is there a cost to apply through VetAssist?
No. A-Team provides a free eligibility review and helps with the VA application at no charge.
Can care start before the VA approves the benefit?
Yes. As an enrolled VetAssist provider, A-Team can begin care while the application is pending, so the veteran does not wait months.
What counts as a qualifying wartime period?
World War II, the Korean War era, the Vietnam War era, and the Gulf War era. At least one day of active service must fall within one of these periods.
Can a surviving spouse qualify?
Yes. A surviving spouse of a qualifying wartime veteran who did not remarry may qualify for Aid & Attendance toward their own in-home care.
