Aid And Attendance& Housebound Rules

Rate this topic


Recommended Posts

If your spouse is the person assigned as your Aid and Attendance care taker, can she be employed at a separate job part of the time too? Does housebound pay for a caretaker? What exactly is housebound pay? I guess I am reclinerbound or not bedridden but recliner-ridden. I have slept in my recliner for some time now. Due to being on oxygen and having everything centrally located that I need, meds, etc.

danang_1969,

I'm pretty sure your wife can work. Regular Aid and Attendance at the "L" rate equates to an extra $600 or so. This amount is suppose to help off-set some of the expenses needed for help.

Have you asked your provider to submit a request for Home Health Aid? This program providers respite. For instance, my respite is for 3 hours/ 3 days a week.

Take care,

Tayo

Haven't done anything yet but file for housebound and A&A. I feel I will qualify for the housebound pay or maybe A&A. I don't think you can draw both. I will just have to wait see. Thanks for the reply and answer Tayo.
