A year into the “new VA regulations” it is clear that planning for VA benefits is still a viable longterm care planning strategy. On October 18, 2018 as part of a comprehensive plan to help reorganize the Department of Veterans Affairs and benefit programs themselves, the VA finally adopted new regulations affecting the non-service related improved compensation benefit program or as we refer to it, A&A (aid and attendance).
Among the changes:
- A three (3) lookback period.
