Veterans Independence Program (VIP)

Benefits for Primary Caregivers

On February 15, 2005, regulatory amendments addressing Veterans Independence Program housekeeping and/or grounds maintenance services for primary caregivers received approval. Primary caregivers of all Veterans who were receiving housekeeping and/or grounds maintenance services under the VIP program before they passed away or were admitted to a long-term care facility may now be eligible to continue to receive these services for life. Primary caregivers include eligible spouses, common-law partners and others.
