We applied. I spent several days off work running around and getting the documentation to apply. We submitted the paperwork and 4 months later got a letter that said my mom was eligible (well duh! She was the widow of a retired veteran). Three months after that, we received a letter that said she was eligible but not qualified because her monthly income was too much. They advised me to spend down the assets and then reapply in 6 months, but I would need all new documentation in order to do it.
If you can get it, great, but if you are living here, you will not meet the income guidelines.
