What are the different levels of VA benefits?

There are three different levels of VA pensions. Basic Pension/Improved Income applies to healthy veterans with lower incomes who are over the age of 65. Aid and Attendance is a program for veterans also over the age of 65 who require assistance with their daily living activities. Lastly, the housebound pension covers veterans with a disability rating of 100% that does not have to be related to their service in the military. To qualify, the disability must prevent them from leaving their home.
