To our nation’s veterans, we extend our deepest gratitude for your service and sacrifice. You’ve earned a range of benefits designed to support your health and well-being, yet a significant number of heroes are not accessing the help they deserve. A staggering amount of support, including billions of dollars for in-home care, goes unclaimed every year simply because veterans are unaware it exists.

The question is: are you or a loved one one of them?

The Billion-Dollar Awareness Gap

The numbers are startling and paint a clear picture. The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs has a massive budget—$301.4 billion in FY 2023, with over $121 billion allocated specifically for the Veterans Health Administration (VHA). Despite this, there is a major disconnect.

• A 2020 survey revealed that 40% of veterans are unaware of the VA health care benefits available to them.
• Specifically concerning the Aid and Attendance benefit, which provides crucial funding for in-home care, only about 20% of eligible veterans actually use it.

This isn’t about a lack of resources; it’s about a lack of awareness. Millions of veterans who need help with daily activities at home are navigating their challenges alone, unaware that the support they earned is waiting for them.
