Sage Senior Support helps Dallas-Fort Worth veterans and surviving spouses access VA Pension benefits, including Aid & Attendance, which provides up to $2,358 monthly for long-term care without requiring service-connected disabilities.
-- Many veterans and surviving spouses in the Dallas-Fort Worth area remain unaware of substantial financial support available through the VA Pension program and its Aid & Attendance enhancement. These benefits provide monthly payments to qualified individuals who meet specific income and asset criteria, helping cover costs for long-term care services including in-home assistance, assisted living, and memory care.

The VA Pension program serves wartime veterans and surviving spouses who require assistance with daily activities. For 2025, a single veteran qualifying for Aid & Attendance can receive up to $2,358 monthly, while eligible surviving spouses can receive up to $1,515 monthly. These tax-free benefits do not require a service-connected disability, contrary to a common misconception.
Eligibility depends on several factors: service during a recognized wartime period (such as World War II, Korean War, Vietnam War, or Gulf War), honorable discharge, age or disability status, and financial qualifications. The current net worth limit stands at $159,240, with primary residences and vehicles excluded from this calculation. Medical expenses can significantly affect eligibility by reducing countable income when they exceed 5% of the applicable Maximum Annual Pension Rate.
The application process often presents challenges for families. Required documentation includes military discharge papers, medical evidence of need for care, financial statements, and properly completed VA forms. Many applications face delays or denials due to incomplete documentation or misunderstanding of the complex eligibility rules.
Sage Senior Support guides families through this process with specialized knowledge of VA benefits. Their team provides assistance with determining Aid & Attendance eligibility, asset planning strategies, and coordinating VA benefits with other long-term care options including Medicaid. They help clarify common misunderstandings, such as the belief that only veterans with service-connected disabilities qualify.
For families making decisions about senior care transitions, understanding available benefits can substantially impact financial planning. The additional monthly income from VA benefits often makes the difference in affording quality care while preserving assets. Sage Senior Support offers consultations to help veterans and their families access these earned benefits and navigate the transition to appropriate care settings.
