VA Aid and Attendance benefits and Housebound allowance | Veterans Affairs

Find out if you're eligible and how to apply for VA Aid and Attendance or Housebound benefits for Veterans and surviving spouses. You may qualify if you receive a VA pension and need help with daily activities or if you spend most of your time in your home because of a permanent disability.

In addition to the caregiver program there is Aid & Attendance/Homebound and the Veteran Direct Care Program
Under the caregiver program there are 2 types of Caregiver support
1. General Caregiver - this does not include financial support
2 Comprehensive - this one includes financial support
