Go to the blue bar that is near the top of this page... on the right you will see *Money and Legal*.... move your Mouse over that and a drop down menu will appear... scroll down to *Veterans Assistance*.
Yes, there is a VA benefit, you can check it out on the VA website. Basically they have to have served active duty and honorable discharge, and you need a copy of those discharge papers in order to apply. They can only have $85, 000 in the bank. There is a long process, 12-18 months before any benefits are paid but (someone please correct me....) I think they do go retroactive. It does not pay the full cost of facility or home care but it does pay something. Good luck with the applicaitons.
