VA Aid and Attendance and Housebound Allowances Not Income VA pays an allowance to veterans, spouses of disabled veterans, and surviving spouses who are in regular need of the aid and attendance of another person or who are housebound. This allowance is combined with the individual's pension or compensation payment. 67.1. Income Treatment VA aid and attendance and housebound allowances are not income for AG purposes subtract the attendance and housebound allowance from the compensation and pension. 67.2. Verification It is necessary to determine if the individual’s payment includes an additional amount for aid and attendance. It is not necessary to verify the actual amount of them.

68. VA Apportioned Benefits Unearned Income Apportionment is direct payment of the dependent's portion of VA benefits to a dependent spouse or child.
