Surviving single spouse of a veteran with housebound allowance -- $0 to $864 per month. Surviving single spouse of a veteran with aid and attendance allowance -- $0 to $1,149/m. Here are some examples of calculating the Pension award based on three different application categories. Example #1 -- Surviving spouse receiving paid home care with aid and attendance allowance. Annual income is $11,000. Unreimbursed medical expenses include prescription drugs, Medicare premiums, Medicare supplement premiums, and 12 months of prospective home health aide monthly costs.
