2013 Veterans Benefits Rates
Veterans Benefits Rates (2013)
Basic, Aid and Attendance, Housebound
Please note: The data below are expressed as annual and monthly figures. The Department of Veterans Affairs adjusted the benefits upwards by 1.7% from the 2012 levels. The DVA then posted the data as annual dollar amounts. The chart below expresses the annual benefit levels as calculated by the DVA; the monthly figures, however, have been calculated by Bob Mason and may contain minor rounding errors (the VA, by regulation, rounds fractional dollar amounts DOWN to the nearest whole dollar when calculating monthly pensions).
