What is the Veteran’s Assist Program?

In 1952 Congress passed Title 38 of the United States Code, creating what we now call the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), and authorizing benefits for veterans. One of these benefits is the Non-Service Connected Pension, with “Aid & Attendance.” (Veterans Aid & Attendance Pension benefit.)

Even though the pension has been around for 60 years, very few people know about it or understand how it works. Wiser Home Care Services works closely with Veterans Home Care , who has 11 years of experience successfully helping veteran families apply for and receive the pension.

Wiser Home Care provides care and support for United States Veterans.
Wiser Home Care Services, working directly with Veterans Home Care can:
  • Help you determine if you qualify for the VA Aid & Attendance Pension Benefit.
  • Help you complete and submit the application to the VA.
  • Furnish an interest-free loan so you can pay for your home care while the VA processes your application.
  • Assist you to identify and obtain documents needed for the application.
  • Provide your home care right away.
  • Monitor your application’s progress, and assist with responses to VA requests for additional information until your pension is approved.
