What is the Veterans Affair pension for veterans?

Pension is a benefit paid to wartime veterans who have limited or no income, and who are age 65 or older, or, if under 65, who are permanently and totally disabled. Veterans who are more seriously disabled may qualify for Aid and Attendance and Housebound benefits. These are benefits that are paid in addition to the basic pension rate.
