This is a tax free benefit for senior veterans and their spouses. My understanding of this means tested benefit is that all wartime veterans over 65 years old qualify as long as the medical necessity is present. You do not need to be retired from the military to qualify, just honorably disharged.
Veterans Angels Inc. is a non-profit corporation devoted to assisting senior veterans and spouses obtain this little known benefit. Here is a link to the web site to get additional information and begin the claims process. http://vetangels.org/do-i-qualify.html
I hope this information helps someone in a time of need.
