VA GIVES VETERANS MONEY TO PAY FOR ELDER CARE SERVOCES AT HOME

"VA GIVES VETERANS MONEY TO PAY FOR ELDER CARE SERVICES AT HOME."

Under the right conditions, about 33% of all seniors in this country could qualify for up to $1,843 a month in additional income from the Department of Veterans Affairs. This money can be used to pay just about anyone to provide elder care services at home. As an example, these funds can be used to pay children, other relatives, friends, home care companies, or domestic workers. Adequate documentation and evidence must be provided in order to receive money from VA for these services, particularly the services provided by family members or other non-professional providers. The National Care Planning Council furnishes detailed instructions and training to those practitioners who wish to help veteran households receive this valuable source of revenue to pay for home care.

Interesting! I just was talking to a ear specialist who said that Illinois has a program that offers phones for the hearing impaired. All you have to do is ask the specialist for the Illinois form, but few know about it.
