Could Aid & Attendance Help Cover Care in Columbus?

Aid & Attendance pays toward care, not rent alone. A Columbus veteran or surviving spouse who needs help with daily activities may qualify for up to $3,845 a month toward that care. If the family home is a concern, read how VA looks at a home for net worth. A spouse of a living veteran can sometimes qualify too; see whether a spouse of a living veteran can get Aid & Attendance.
