Ralph I appreciate your time & knowledge with your answer about when to update Veterans Aid & Attendants account. You are clear & concise. I cannot express my gratitude for having the care of Aid & Attendance from dads military service for mom. It's a true gift for dads time in the service. Best to all.

You mother may be eligible based on your father's service however this is a needs based benefit for which she will have qualify for. There is a guide on this site which gives an excellent overview of eligibility and qualification requirements. Look for "Veteran Benefits" under "Care Guides" in the upper right hand corner of the web page.

No, you do not have to update the VA every year if there are no changes but they can audit at any time. I recommend my clients retain expense and income records for five years.

Yes, you are required to notify the VA of changes in income or expenses that may effect the continuation or amount of benefits received.

In the event of the passing of a claimant or spouse the VA should be notified even though the VA will receive this information from Social Security automatically in the event of death.

If your father predeceases your mother she will have to file a new claim as surviving spouse.
