What does it take to apply for the Non-Service Connected Improved Pension Benefit?
Eligibility Requirements:

1. Only 90 Days of continuous, active duty military service, one of which was during wartime
2. Any discharge other than a dishonorable discharge
3. Disabled OR … at least age 65!
4. A doctor also must certify that a veteran or spouse has conditions requiring the aid and attendance of another person or care center in order to live safely. (Required for maximum benefit)

Here is an example of how this benefit works:
Veterans Income:
Pension $860
Social Security $1230
Total $2090
Cost of Care
Assisted Living Facility $2700
Medicine $ 300
Transportation $ 200
Total $3200

This Veteran is spending $1110 per month out of his/her savings to meet expenses. This Veteran could qualify for over $1900 per month if he/she is married, or over $1500 if he/she is single, in TAX FREE money to help him/her pay for their care.  How would your family benefit from this scenario?

The Veteran’s new monthly income would be over $3900 per month with expenses of only $3200 per month!! Instead of taking $1110 per month out of savings, he/she would have over $700 per month of EXTRA INCOME!!
AND REMEMBER . . .this benefit is available for a veteran, their spouse, or their surviving spouse!!
