HadIt.com Elder john999 Posted May 3, 2008 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted May 3, 2008 Pete You and I are youngsters compared to the average age of some of the vets I see at my VAMC. These guys are Spanish Ameircan war vets I think. I think I heard one of them called General Grant and the other guy was Gen. Robert E. Lee. Maybe it was Ethan Allen or George Washington. The joint is run by Benedict Arnold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gdsnide Posted May 4, 2008 Author Share Posted May 4, 2008 I misunderstood your post, Gary. I thought you were asking about A&A for yourself, with your wife being the attendant. Now I understand that it is your wife who needs the aid and attendance, not you. Rental Guy, It's my wife & I that I am putting in for A & A for. Both of us.

GARY Now I see...it would be $3287 for regular A&A (SMC "L" for vet with spouse) and an additional $129 for A&A for the spouse. That would be a total of $3416/month, in lieu of the 100% rate. If you need a higher level of A&A, or if you qualify for a higher SMC rate, that figure would go up, of course. 90%, TDIU P&T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have read the req. for the higher level of a&a but how does the the va determine which R does a veteran gets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
