    I am not a veteran. My lottery number was 88 and Uncle Sammy said he didn’t want anything to do with me. Can this benefit be used in CR?

    “Millions of families of wartime veterans are failing to take advantage of a little-known benefit that could help pay for long-term care.

    The Department of Veterans Affairs’ so-called aid-and-attendance benefit pays a maximum of $1,949 a month to married veterans who qualify. Single veterans and surviving spouses may be eligible for smaller payments.

    To qualify, veterans must have served at least 90 days of active military service, including at least one day during a war, and not have been discharged dishonorably. (The rules are stricter for wartime veterans who entered active duty starting Sept. 8, 1980.) They also must meet certain thresholds for medical need and financial need.”
