VA Pension Benefits

Since 2008, Veterans Care Providers (VCP) has been dedicated to supporting Veterans, surviving spouses, families, and caregivers by providing access to monthly financial assistance for transitional housing, long‑term nursing care, and home healthcare needs. Today, VCP proudly serves communities across New Mexico and throughout the United States.

What is the VA Pension?

The VA Pension Benefit Program provides monthly, tax‑free financial assistance to wartime Veterans with financial need who meet certain eligibility requirements. These benefits are needs‑based, designed to assist Veterans with low income and limited net worth.

Did you know? It’s estimated that as much as $22 billion in VA pension benefits go unclaimed each year—often because families are unaware these benefits exist. That’s where VCP comes in: we’re a 501(c)(3) providing free guidance through every step.

Eligibility Requirements

  • Served during a VA‑defined wartime period and met minimum service requirements
  • Qualifying discharge
  • Income and net worth within VA limits
  • Plus one: age 65+, permanent & total disability, in a nursing home for long‑term care due to disability, or receiving SSDI/SSI

Full criteria: VA.gov/pension/eligibility

Aid & Attendance / Housebound

Enhanced pension benefits are available for eligible Veterans and survivors who require Aid and Attendance (help with daily activities) or who are Housebound. (Maximum monthly Aid and Attendance for 2025 noted as $2,795.)
