Veterans Benefits

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) offers a wide range of benefits including programs for veterans and surviving spouses providing compensation, pension, in-home care, payments or grants for assisted living, a retirement home, as well as health care and burial. Eligibility requirements vary, and it is not uncommon for a veteran to qualify for some benefits and not others. Some benefits are available to all honorably discharged veterans while others are limited to veterans with service-connected disabilities or those who saw wartime service. In some instances, limitations are based on assets and income.
