Question
Cherie33
Hello Fellow veterans,
It's been such a long time since I posted here. I come to you with a question. I sent in a claim for A&A for my spouse. I received a letter today that states:
Your current benefit payment will continue unchanged.
What We Decided
Aid & Attendance for Spouse - Effective Sept. 18, 2014
~ Entitlement to additional benefits based on the need for aid & attendance is established.
~ Entitlement to aid and attendance allowance for "My Spouse Name" is established effective Sept. 18, 2014 - the date you filed your claim.
So, I'm confused, will I receive additional monetary benefits or not and is there any additional benefits for a spouse that has been approved for aid and attendance?
Thank you,
Cherie33
