Will going into an assisted living facility affect disability payments for retired military? My dad is 93 years old with Alzheimer’s. Mom passed a year ago. He’s currently 100% VA disability and receives a substantial amount every month that covers all of his living expenses. We previously used this money to pay for caregivers. He also had a home health care person come several times a week through the aid and attendance program. We planned on now using that disability money for the ALF that he just moved into. Will moving into an ALF affect his existing disability payments from the VA? I know he will no longer have the aid coming from aid and attendance, but is the disability separate and will he continue to receive that money every month? Thank you 😊
I would try to locate VA centers in your area, then call and find out which department can help you.
Every person is different, with different VA quals and benefits, so you need to find someone skilled in addressing how an ALF might affect your father's benefits. But I wouldn't rely on the ALF staff though. VA quals are too personal and individualized.
Good luck.
