Veteran’s Benefits
Our office is dedicated to helping veterans, surviving spouses and their families understand how to plan for and obtain long-term care benefits from the Department of Veterans Affairs. We have found that a lot of families are unaware of the benefits available to them, while others have been misinformed that they do not qualify for benefits because they have too much income or too much property. The sad fact is that many have been given the wrong advice!
If you or someone you love is a veteran (or surviving spouse of a veteran) and is housebound or needs help with daily activities like cooking, cleaning, dressing, driving, mobility, or other assistance, then Veteran pension benefits can provide the funds you need to pay for that care.
Special Care Pensions for Wartime Veterans: Housebound Pension and Aid & Attendance
While many people are unaware it exists, the Veterans Administration non-service connected pension program provides monetary assistance to wartime veterans B and surviving spouses of deceased veterans B who are disabled and are housebound or need regular personal assistance in their daily environment. If the veteran qualifies, pension benefits are provided in addition to monthly pension and Social Security benefits.
In order to take advantage of all the possible benefits available and insure that the many complex, related variables are looked after, it is important to seek the guidance of an experienced attorney who is accredited by the Department of Veterans Affairs and who is also familiar with estate planning, disability, and Medicaid benefits.
The attorneys at McGinty & Belcher are all accredited by the VA and our office is also experienced in estate planning, disability and Elder Law and Medicaid benefits. We provide our clients and their families requiring assistance in this area with information that will help them receive the benefits they are entitled to and get the best possible care for their loved one. We help you decide if it is appropriate to apply for VA benefits and coordinate the application with any estate planning and Medicaid planning and eligibility, that needs to be taken.
