Veteran and Veteran’s Spouse

Non-Service Connected Pension for Home Care

 

 

            The Non-Service-Connected (“NSC”) Pension is often referred to as “aid and attendance.” This benefit is offered to veterans and to the spouse of a veteran.

 

            The NSC Pension is a benefit to provide monetary assistance for veterans of limited financial means whose unreimbursed medical expenses (“UMEs”) are greater than the veteran’s income.

 

            There are both service requirements and financial requirements which must be met. The financial requirements must meet two tests. Are the veteran’s assets below the resource cap? And is the veteran’s income below the limit? Check with your Veteran’s counselor for the specific requirements, these numbers change over time.
