Veterans Benefits in Missouri
If you are a veteran or the family member of a veteran, you deserve access to every benefit you have earned. At Ozarks Elder Law, we are honored to help veterans and their families across Missouri navigate the complex VA benefits system with care, respect, and experienced guidance.
Many veterans are unaware that additional financial support is available to help cover the cost of care at home, in assisted living, or in nursing homes. If you or your loved one served our country, you may qualify for benefits that can ease the financial burden of long-term care.
What Is VA Aid and Attendance?

VA Aid and Attendance is a special monthly payment added to a veteran’s regular pension. It is meant for veterans and surviving spouses who need extra help with daily living activities like bathing, dressing, cooking, or getting around safely.
You can use Aid and Attendance benefits to help cover the costs of:
-
In-home caregivers
-
Assisted living facilities
-
Nursing home care
-
Personal health aides
-
Other long-term care services
You do not have to have a service-connected disability to qualify. Instead, the VA looks at your level of medical need, your income, your assets, and your time in service.
If you feel like you or a loved one might qualify but you are not sure where to start, you are not alone. Ozarks Elder Law is here to walk with you through the process.
