What Are Aid and Attendance Benefits? Aid and Attendance is a benefit paid by Veterans Affairs (VA) to veterans, veteran spouses or surviving spouses. It is paid in addition to a veteran's basic pension. The benefit may not be paid without eligibility to a VA basic pension.

The veteran will receive a report showing any adjustments due to cost-of-living adjustments (COLA) or other changes affecting the monthly benefit during the year.hus, for the 2012 tax year, the adjustment is $2,294 ($1,614 ($538 3) + $680 ($340 2)).
