Could Aid & Attendance Help Cover Care in Gillette?
Aid & Attendance pays toward care, not rent alone. A Gillette veteran or surviving spouse who needs help with daily activities may qualify for up to $3,845 a month toward that care. Before applying, review VA’s income and net worth limits so the care bill is counted the right way. A spouse of a living veteran can sometimes qualify too; see whether a spouse of a living veteran can get Aid & Attendance.
