The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) provides various benefits for senior veterans for their bravery and dedicated service to the nation. Referred to as VA benefits, some popular ones include disability compensation, pension, and healthcare. Older veterans struggle to return to their daily lives after leaving the military. These perks assist them in meeting their personal needs. However,  a lot  of these benefits are underutilized mostly because senior veterans are unaware of them. Aid and attendance (A&A) The Aid and Attendance program offers additional monthly payments to eligible veterans and their spouses who need help with  daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, and eating.  This extra income makes daily help more accessible for veterans. To receive this benefit, the veteran must receive a pension, require assistance with daily activities, or be bedridden. One must go through their local VA office and provide all necessary documentation to apply for this benefit.  Home-based primary care (HBPC) Some veterans may find it difficult to visit their doctors. In such cases, the VA also offers home-based primary care services, where the healthcare provider visits the patient at the convenience of their home.  To be eligible for this benefit , senior  veterans must be enrolled in the VA healthcare system and have  a referral from their primary care physician.
