While doing research on the book, I have come across a little known benefit for veterans that served during a war. Click on the banner to get to one of the websites that explains the program. Unfortunately, I was not able to find much explanation about the program on the VA website. Another website called VetAssist also has very good information about the program.
This is a program for all eligible war veterans or their surviving spouses and pays a monthly pension. Click here to see maximum rates paid. Countable income is subtracted from the maximum rate to get your benefit. Be aware that if you already receive a military pension you may not be eligible. If you receive state benefits like Medicaid, food stamps or a provider service, this may jeopardize your eligibility for those programs depending on your state.
I have had a few patients apply and they are still waiting to be accepted. One co-worker's friend has been accepted and is receiving a monthly check.
I hope this helps someone. I posted this especially for my friends in home health near Fort Hood. Hope all is well guys!
