My father is receiving aid attendance and owns a house. When house sells can he gift proceeds to disabled son and keep benefits?

Thank you for your input. Because it is delicate and want to avoid any red flags with the VA, I preferred to hear if anyone had experience with this. My father is living in Memory Care Assisted Living. But, we will in the next 6 months have to sell his house in order to pay for his care and am looking for guidance.

Do you mean he's receiving Aide and Attendance through the VA, or he's received home aid through attendance of caregivers, through Medicaid?
Seems as though it's the former?

I've never seen a question on gifting as it might affect VA Aide & Attendance. I think this is a question for someone at the VA to make sure that you get the right answer and don't jeopardize any benefits.

I understand the concern. You might try another route - contact a VFW or American Legion branch, w/o identifying your father, and ask information about this issue. Or have a relative who's knowledge of the situation call - he/she could easily say that neither of her parents are receiving A & A, but she's doing some short and long term planning and wants to know how a house sale factors into the benefits equation.

Once Dad has the proceeds, he will go off Aid and Attendance. It will take a while to spend that down. In that time you can expect Dad will need greater care, a nursing home. A&A won't be enough to cover that, so you will need to apply for Medicaid. Both Medicaid and the VA are now doing 5 year looks back. Do NOT give money to the disabled brother for two reasons:
1. The sudden influx of brother's income will stop his low income benefits until he spends it all down.
2. The missing proceeds will trigger a gift penalty for Dad. You will have no way to pay it back.
