VA Aid & Attendance Eligibility Screener

A 90-second tool to estimate whether you or a loved one may qualify for the VA pension benefit that helps pay for home care.

Who is care needed for?

A&A is for the veteran or surviving spouse. Choose the relationship to the veteran.

Did the veteran serve at least 90 days on active duty?

Active duty means full-time federal military service (Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, Coast Guard, Space Force). Reserve or National Guard alone usually does not count unless activated to federal service for 90+ days.

Did at least ONE day of that service fall during a recognized wartime period?

VA wartime periods include:

  • World War II: Dec 7, 1941 – Dec 31, 1946
  • Korean War: Jun 27, 1950 – Jan 31, 1955
  • Vietnam Era: Aug 5, 1964 – May 7, 1975 (Feb 28, 1961 if served in Vietnam)
  • Gulf War / Post-9/11: Aug 2, 1990 – present (still ongoing)
Most veterans qualify on this. The veteran does not need to have been in combat.

What was the discharge character?

A&A requires a discharge other than dishonorable. Honorable and general-under-honorable-conditions both qualify.

Does the veteran or surviving spouse need help with daily activities?

A&A requires need for help with at least ONE of: bathing, dressing, eating, toileting, transferring (getting in/out of bed or chair), or being legally blind, bedridden, or living in a nursing home or assisted living facility.

Is the household's net worth under $163,699?

For 2026, the VA net worth limit is $163,699 (effective Dec 1, 2025 – Nov 30, 2026). Net worth includes savings, investments, and other assets but excludes:

  • Your primary residence (the home you live in)
  • One personal vehicle
  • Personal belongings
Annual income counts toward net worth, but unreimbursed medical and care expenses are deducted.

Important: This screener is an educational estimate, not an eligibility determination. Only the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs can decide your claim. Q Legacy Home Care is not a VA-accredited claims agent and does not charge for benefit application help — that practice is illegal under federal law (38 U.S.C. § 5904) and we will never refer you to anyone who does. Free help is available from your county Veteran Service Officer or any VA-accredited representative listed at ogc.va.gov. 2026 benefit amounts effective Dec 1, 2025; subject to annual COLA adjustment.
