Yakima Veterans Benefits/Aid & Attendance Lawyer
When you have dedicated your life to serving our country in the US military, there are numerous programs and benefits available through the US Department of Veterans’ Affairs (VA). You may have access to disability compensation, home loans, insurance, and more. However, as you grow older, there are special benefits for medical care. They cover different types of care in various health facility settings in Washington, and you may be eligible for VA aid and attendance.

Summary of VA Benefits
Older veterans may need assistance with anything from personal tasks and help with medications up to complex health care needs. There are benefits available for different types of care in the community, your home, or extended care. They include:
- At-home services for help with daily routine and needs;
- Skilled at-home care from nursing professionals;
- Placement in residential settings;
- Nursing home and medical foster homes; and,
- Hospice and palliative care.
You might also qualify for housebound benefits if you receive a VA pension and stay home because of a disability.
VA Aid and Attendance
One important benefit that you may be entitled to through the VA deals with basic hygiene needs. Aid and attendance is available if you receive a VA pension and qualify under at least one of the follow criteria:
- You require help with bathing, dressing, and feeding;
- You are bed-bound because of a medical condition;
- You have a disabling medical condition that limits you mentally or physically, necessitating nursing home care; OR,
- You are blind or have limited vision.
Note that you cannot obtain housebound benefits described above if you are receiving aid and attendance.
