 Welcome to Income For Vets!
Each year tens of thousands of senior Veterans, spouses and widows spend their hard earned savings and investments simply because they are unaware of the benefits afforded to them as Veterans under the Aid and Attendance provisions of the Veterans Administration.  Today, just 143,000 Veterans or surviving spouses receive the Aid and Attendance Benefit.  The government reports $22 billion per year in pensions goes unspent because many Veterans are completely unaware the program exists.

ARE YOU OR YOUR LOVED ONE A VETERAN?

You may be missing out on $22,000 in ADDITIONAL, TAX-FREE INCOME earned through military service. Largely unknown, this Special Pension is part of the VA Improved Pension Program. The program allows for Veterans and their spouses/widows to receive additional monies toward the cost of Assisted Living, Nursing Home and Home Health care. The law authorizing this Pension was passed in 1951. Research shows that very few (less than 10%) of Veterans are receiving this Pension due to two factors:
 
1. Not knowing this special benefit exists.

2. Uninformed on how to apply.

For those who have taken advantage, it is the defining point in quality of care. This special benefit helps fill in the gap for the high cost of Home Health Care, Assisted Living or Nursing Home care that neither Medicare or supplemental insurance pays for but is essential for one's healthcare needs.
