Please look into AID AND ATTENDANCE from the veterans administration. This will provide MORE benefits than just military retirement.

Although you can get this information from the VA... there is also another website VeteranAid.org that provides a clear understanding of who is eligible for this LITTLE know benefit.

Call the social security office for more information on available help from them.

God bless...
