Guest guest Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 OMG, I just called and he is wonderful. Since my Dad's money and property is all in his Trust he is going to find out how that plays into all this and let me know tomorrow but feels that Dad will be eligible for this benefit since he is living in the dementia unit at the ALF.

Guest guest Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 Thanks so much for sharing this! Lin From: & lt;octoryrose@... & gt; Subject: Free Long Term Care Insurance for Veterans To: LBDcaregivers Date: Tuesday, June 3, 2008, 4:28 PM Free Long Term Care Insurance for Veterans (Source: Producersweb.com) - The Aid and Attendance benefit is a little known, under-utilized benefit that provides up to $22,104 per year to help a veteran or the surviving spouse of a veteran pay for long term health care costs, including home health care, assisted living or even nursing home expenses. The benefit is paid regardless of the need for care, provided the veteran or spouse is older than the age of 65. Consider the possibility that a client or their family member is suffering from Alzheimer's or Parkinson's disease and the family would like to keep them at home for as long as possible. Medicare will not cover the services of a private-duty nurse, nor will Medicaid. The Aid and Attendance benefit may be available to help defray the cost. In this article, Wedmore says, " Don't overlook this benefit. Just sharing this information with your senior clients will open a lot of doors, resulting in loyal clients who depend on you for their financial advice.

Guest guest Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 The Aid and Attendance is a lifesaver for us. Any social security and other incomes will be subtracted from the amount that the VA allows. To fill out the application you do get to put down medical expenses. There are the medical benefits that go with it. That is what we are slowly getting into now.
