## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability vetpulse-aid-attendance-eligibility-assessment-006a300b
```

Example prompt: My dad is a 78-year-old US Army veteran with a 70% VA disability rating who now needs help with bathing and dressing every day — can you check if he qualifies for Aid and Attendance and how much he could receive per month?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when a user needs to determine whether a veteran or surviving spouse qualifies for a care-related pension supplement or attendance allowance, especially when multi-country coverage (US, UK, Canada, Australia, NZ, Germany) is needed in a single call. Prefer this over general VA benefits endpoints when the specific question is about care assistance payments tied to needing help with daily activities, not disability ratings or education benefits.

## Known failure modes

- Insufficient veteran profile data provided — missing service history or disability rating
- Country not supported beyond the listed six jurisdictions
- Ambiguous care needs description prevents accurate eligibility scoring
- API returns 402 if payment header is missing or USDC balance insufficient
- Conflicting eligibility signals (e.g., income limits not met) result in ineligible determination with explanation
