    Mom and Dad divorced many years ago. Dad passed away a couple years ago. Neither ever remarried. Would Mom quality for Aid & Attendance?

    Moms Little Helper,

    Did mom and dad's divorce occur prior to Nov 1, 1990?

    Unless the divorce was granted on the bases of "spousal abuse" and can be proven, the the divorce makes her ineligible for this pension benefit. She is not considered the Veteran's widow.

    Wish I had better news for you.
