Many wartime veterans, or the surviving spouses of such veterans, can
collect numerous benefits from the Department of Veterans Affairs, mostly
to pay for assisted living needs and necessary medical expenses. Known
as “aid and attendance” benefits in most forums, actually
obtaining these benefits can be more difficult than anticipated. Indeed,
there are many veterans who are completely unaware that they may qualify
for these benefits at all
due to a general lack of information.
The Law Office of Jeffrey A. Robertson, P.C. and our Warren County, MO
elder lawyers are here to support wartime veterans and their families
with legal issues. We hope to help you understand how you can become eligible
for VA benefit requirements if you are not already. Once you obtain eligibility,
we also want to make it possible for you to keep as many of your own assets
in the process.
Discuss your options today by contacting our firm and asking for a consultation.
