Aid and Attendance Benefits and Housebound Allowance provides a monthly payment which increases a current VA benefit based on your situation. This additional income assistance opens up the opportunity to hire a home health aide to assist with organizing medication, bathing, eating or other needs of the Veteran and survivors to continue to live at home.
The application for this benefit can be complex so it is suggested to reach out to your VSO for assistance in applying.

Straight To The Point
Hosted by Dr. Paul Lawrence and Dr. Tyler Pieron, Straight To The Point shaves down to the specifics on Veteran benefits and how they can assist with housing, compensation and education. With Paul’s expertise as the former Under Secretary of The VBA, he brings knowledge and guidance.
Dr. Tyler Pieron is an Army veteran of Iraq and Afghanistan (and a few other conflicts). He served in the Army’s Criminal Investigation Command as a Special Agent until he was medically retired. Tyler hosts Coming Home Well’s radio and podcast shows and focuses on TBI research and helping veterans wade through the bureaucracy to obtain benefits, especially education.
Tyler used his GI Bill benefits to earn a Master of Science degree in Cyber Security Policy and then a PhD. in Information Assurance after receiving a sabbatical and scholarship from the Pat Roberts Intelligence Scholars Program.
Paul R. Lawrence is a businessman, author and passionate Veteran advocate. He has 35 years of experience solving management problems in large, complex organizations. As a private sector executive, he was a consulting Partner at two Big-Four accounting firms and a Vice President in two Fortune 500 companies. He is a government management thought leader, having written several books on the subject.
For almost three years, Lawrence served as Under Secretary of Benefits at the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, unanimously confirmed by the Senate on April 26, 2018. As Under Secretary, he was in charge of the Veterans Benefits Administration (VBA) leading a team of 25,000 people with an operating budget of $4 billion, administering $120 billion in benefits annually. He implemented proven business practices, streamlined the bureaucracy, and created a public presence rebranding VBA as an organization successfully supporting Veterans.
