VA Aid & Attendance

Senior Veterans · South Dakota · Free

Increased monthly pension for wartime veterans and surviving spouses needing help with daily living. Worth contacting before nursing home placement — VA may cover a portion that Medicaid won't. Most claims take 4-8 months; some are decided faster via the Fully Developed Claim path with all evidence submitted upfront. Veterans buried in any VA national cemetery are entitled to a headstone, perpetual care, and burial at no cost. Free service; donations support but never gate access.
