Tucson Veteran’s Benefits

Planning for Veteran’s Benefits and Aid and Attendance

Did you know that the Veterans Administration (VA) Aid & Attendance Special Care Pension provides monthly aid to wartime Veterans, as well as surviving spouses of deceased Veterans, who require personal assistance in their activities of daily living to help them pay for care.

Many families are unaware of the benefits available to them, how to check their eligibility, and how to apply. Furthermore, some people have been misinformed — told that they do not qualify for veteran’s benefits because their income and/or assets exceed the allowed thresholds.  The sad fact is that many have been given the wrong advice! We are dedicated to helping clients preserve their assets by guiding them through the maze of legal issues, then plan for and obtain these long-term care benefits.

Many Veterans and surviving spouses whose incomes are above the congressionally mandated legal limit may still qualify for monthly Aid & Attendance benefits with the right planning in place. This includes a combination of estate and elder law planning strategies that will protect a family’s assets from being spent on long-term care. Qualifying Veterans receive Aid & Attendance funds to pay for in-home care, assisted living, or nursing home care, in addition to their monthly pension and Social Security benefits.

If you or someone you love is a Veteran (or surviving spouse of a deceased Veteran) and needs assistance with activities of daily living – including but not limited to cooking, cleaning, dressing, driving, and mobility – the Aid & Attendance pension benefit program can provide the funds you need to pay for that care.

The Help of an Elder Law Attorney

To ensure that all questions are answered and benefits paid, it is important to seek the assistance of a qualified elder law attorney who is familiar with estate planning, disability, Medicaid, and Veterans’ benefits. In fact, only attorneys accredited by the Veteran’s Administration can work with clients and help them apply for benefits.

Over the years, we have helped many veterans and surviving spouses receive the benefits they deserve. Our office is experienced in elder law and provides Veterans and their families consultations to decide if it is appropriate to apply for this VA benefit, coordinate the application with any Medicaid planning and eligibility, and determine what steps must be taken.
