Questions families ask

What is VA Aid & Attendance and how much can a wartime veteran in Raleigh receive?

VA Aid & Attendance is an add-on allowance that raises a qualifying wartime veteran's VA pension rather than a separate benefit. For a veteran with no dependents, the 2025-2026 Maximum Annual Pension Rate (MAPR) with Aid & Attendance is $29,093 per year, or about $2,424 per month, effective December 1, 2025 through November 30, 2026. This is a federal benefit set nationally and does not vary based on living in Raleigh or anywhere else in North Carolina.

What VA Aid & Attendance rate applies to a surviving spouse of a veteran?

A surviving spouse with no dependent children who qualifies for Aid & Attendance under the VA Survivors Pension program can receive a Maximum Annual Pension Rate (MAPR) of $18,697 per year, or about $1,558 per month, effective December 1, 2025 through November 30, 2026. This rate is lower than the veteran's own Aid & Attendance rate and is subject to the same net worth and income limits.

What is the net worth limit for VA pension and Aid & Attendance eligibility?

As of December 1, 2025 through November 30, 2026, the VA's combined net worth and annual income limit for pension eligibility (including Aid & Attendance) is $163,699. This figure combines countable assets and annual income and is used to determine whether a veteran or surviving spouse qualifies for the underlying VA Improved Pension before any Aid & Attendance add-on is calculated.
