0 Comments

 
Eligibility is based upon dates of service, discharge status, and need for care. 


Basically these are:

1. Wartime Veteran - must have served one day during a period of war, with at least a total of 90 days of active duty.

Dates which are considered "periods of war": (need one day of active service during this time)

  • World War I: April 6, 1917, through November 11, 1918
  • World War II: December 7, 1941, through December 31, 1946
  • Korean War: June 27, 1950, through January 31, 1955
  • Vietnam War: August 5, 1964 (February 28, 1961, for veterans who served "in country" before August 5, 1964), through May 7, 1975
  • Persian Gulf War: August 2, 1990, through a date to be set by Presidential Proclamation or Law.

2. Must have received any discharge status other than dishonorable.  

3. Must now need the assistance of another individual to assist you with at least one activity of daily living*.

Needless to say, it isn't that simple. See our post "Qualifications for VA Benefits - Aid and Attendance" for more details on what it will actually mean to you or you loved ones.
