So we applied for the 24 7 pension and Aid and attendance benefits about 9 months ago a very long process for my elderly almost 99 yr old mother. My later father was a WWII veteran honorable discharge and passed away almost 20 years ago. My mother owns her home, has very limited income a couple of small credit unions and is paying off her funeral expenses. I received her letter of eligibility and disappointed to see that she only qualifies for 47 .00 per month which is nothing! My mother is 98 yrs of age. She is needing help 24 7 in her home until we are able to secure a full time nursing facility . How can we get the authorization for aid and attendance in her home as she is needing this asp and cannot afford this with her current social security and now VA pension of 47.00 per month. Please advise.

VA benefits are available to Vets in the U.S. We're not familiar with overseas programs.
