Did you know the VA will help pay for an aide or caretaker to come into the home to care for a Veteran, Veteran's Spouse, or a Widowed Spouse of a Veteran? Of course, this Aid and Attendance Pension will help pay the costs of assisted living also. The amount of money that the VA pays is determined by income versus expenses ....whether it's a Veteran, a Couple, or a Widowed Spouse of a Veteran......AND, this money is in addition to your social security or other income......AND, it is TAX FREE from the Federal Government! Can you believe this? It's wonderful!

Generally, to qualify for this tax free monthly pension from the VA , the Veteran must have served in the military during a period of war, had an honorable discharge, and assets cannot be in excess of $80,000 (for a couple).

This Pension won't pay the utility bill, etc.... It is only for CARE or MEDICAL help. If qualified, the Widowed Spouse of a Vet could get as much as $945 month. Veteran could get $1470, and a Couple could get $1743.

Remember...You don't have to be injured in a war or be retired from the Military in order to qualify for this MONEY! You just have to be a VETERAN (or widowed spouse of a Veteran) who had an Honorable Discharge...and were in the Military during a time of war. You don't have to serve in a war zone or anything else. You just need to have served for as long as 30 days during an official war time. Yes, the Gulf War is considered a REAL war, and this time is included also. Viet Nam was not officially declared until 1966, but this Pension allows you to go back 5 years to 1961....because we were actually fighting at that time. (This is the only exception.)

Be sure to call Azalea Manor to get more information about this VA Pension. We have brochures, forms, contact information..... and everything you need to get qualified.

This program is too good to pass up, and so few people are aware that it exists! Free information about this program is available at Azalea Manor Assisted Living. Just call Billie Pascoe to inquire or visit our web site for more information.
