My husband is showing more symptoms of Alzheimer's/Dementia lately. I was wondering if there are additional monetary benefits entitled??

For Aid & Attendance benefits (worth pursuing),
a vet would need to have served one day in a declared war.
This is part of the qualifications.

You will need the discharge document DD214 to show.

There are other qualifications, such as below a certain (high) income.

There have been changes since I first knew about it. You can educate yourself online before making the application, called Veteran's Aid & Attendance benefits.

Quirks on this post...my post was lost also.

He may be entitled to Aid and Attendance. I know men who served in Vietnam and get to use the VA hospital. I went to the local VA office to find out what Mom was entitled to. I like talking one on one. With COVID that may not be possible. Have handy ur husbands discharge papers.

Can't believe this  - I just lost the whole post!

1.    I would start with the VA itself.    This might help:

Or just search on "VA, Boynton Beach, FL" for a list of VA facilities.

2.   You can also contact the State or County VA offices; we went through the county, which prepared the applications and e-mailed them to the American Legion for processing.

The AL and VFW will also directly help Veterans through the application process.

3.   Do NOT pay anyone who purports to help your husband qualify.   Accepting payment for qualifications is illegal.   Some outfits purport to get around this by linking it with advice to investment management, which gives them insight into your finances, and "management" of those assets.  

4.    Another option:   https://www.benefits.va.gov/persona/veteran-vietnam.asp

Good luck!

And please thank your husband for his service, especially to the canine warriors!

Yes, PROBABLY. My dad is WWII and I contacted the VA. If he is home with you, there is a respite benefit where they will allow you to have someone in to help you OR have him go to an assisted living place for a week.

There is also a home care benefit. It's small but they will have someone come to his home for 2 hours, maybe 2-4 days a week to help with showers or dressing or personal care of any kind. You can make a quick trip to the store on those days! My dad was home with me and they did showers 2x/week. They changed sheets, did his laundry, gave him a sandwich and took him for a walk. Now he just moved to assisted living and they've approved 4 x a week. 2 hours isn't much but it's GREAT! The agency that they contract with can also add on hours (at your cost) which lets you extend the time if you like (at least the agency I was assigned will do that).

The VA has also been excellent in providing free walkers and wheelchairs and hearing aids. Frankly, their care has been better than his gerontologist in town. They have an online website once you are enrolled and you can ask questions and communicate with the doctors or other professionals simply using that. They also got him in for Covid immunizations before any other place in town. I'm very impressed!

They also had a social worker that told me about other "grant" programs in town which I ended up not using. Places like Alzheimers.org have respite benefits as well for people living at home with you.

If he had any disability from his service there are even more benefits available.

Your best bet is to become well acquainted with the Veterans' websites, and/or to research your local area for Veteran agencies at the County or State level.  I've worked with these folks; many are Veterans and can offer insights that are really helpful.

2.   You can also contact local American Legion or VFW.   Both had offices locally, the first at the county level (where they processed my father's application) and the second at the regional VA.

And please thank your husband for his service, especially to the canines who are so helpful and resourceful in times of need.

Good luck!
