    I’m 100% p&T but I need aid and attendance. I’m just nervous to file. I have Ms, low back, anxiety depression insomnia sleep apnea plus more. But I really need it because I could no survive without my wife. She does everything on top of work

    After my brain surgery I have a LPN coming in twice a month to set up medications and a care person once a week for three hours to do household chores. Is that what this it is? Also I am 100% Unemployable for bipolar.

    I am often confused with this portion. As I have memory issues. My wife organizes my Medications and And she is my reminder to do daily tasks. So I'm not really certain how this works.

    How do our providers learn this and be able to fill out the forms for us? My PCM at the VA knows nothing and is waiting for a physical evaluation when I have severe mental limits. Can you please advise. Who do I talk to to teach my PCM wth to do because she’s literally not even hearing me.

    Do you have to request which SMC category you are requesting or is that determined by the VA when reviewing the medical evidence,buddy statements etc.

    Your description of what is required medically to qualify for the aid an attendance benefit is very good. However, I have found that there is a lot of misunderstanding and even out right miss information about what this benefit is, and you contribute to that in this video. I just qualified for the full aid and attendance benefit from the VA, and this is what I found out: This benefit is an upgrade from what is called The special monthly pension (SMP.) It does NOT require that you be qualified for a VA disability at any level. That would be the benefit that is called special monthly compensation (SMC.) I do not have a VA disability rating and I qualified for the full VA pension with aid and attendance. There are other very bad instances of misinformation bout this, such as that it is a reimbursement program for medical expenses which is totally FALSE! Again, I qualified for this benefit without claiming any medical expenses. The aid and attendance upgrade to the special monthly pension is simply a higher level of monthly payment to the veteran. It is a shame that's so much misunderstanding and misinformation is being put out there because this means that many veterans are loosing out on what they are entitled to. I am sorry to say that your video contributes to the confusion that veterans experience About this benefit. I know that I am right about this because I went through the entire process to the level of success and I had to fight for clear and accurate information all the way. That wasn't easy, and you are just contributing to the confusion.

      I agree, it is very confusing. But there is aid and attendance pension is totally different program. And there is aid and attendance, special monthly compensation for disabled veterans. I know special monthly compensation for disabled veterans has 2 different compensation levels.
      These ladies are talking about SMC aid and attendance. Not pension aid in attendance.
