Elderly veterans who need a care provider, but cannot pay for it, may be eligible for "Aid and Attendance" - a monthly pension benefit administered through the Department of Veterans Affairs. Wartime veterans and surviving spouses who have in-home care or who live in nursing homes or assisted-living facilities may be eligible for the benefit. To be eligible, a veteran must have served at least 90 days of active military service (one day of which must be during war time) and have an honorable discharge.
For more information about "Aid and Attendance" or any veterans benefit, contact Judy Bivens, McNairy County Veterans Service Officer, (731) 645-6343.
