VA Aid and Attendance Pension Planning

VA Aid & Attendance Improved Pension

The VA Aid & Attendance Improved Pension provides financial assistance to qualified veterans and their surviving spouses. This is a benefit that veterans have earned due to their service to our country, but few have ever heard about it. The program was established to provide financial assistance to veterans and their spouses, allowing them to live out their lives in dignity and afford basic necessities. The benefit is not dependent upon service related injuries. It helps cover the cost of qualified, un-reimbursed medical expenses, including in-home care by an outside provider as well as by a family member or at an assisted living facility. Though it has been in existence for decades, most veterans and their families have never even heard about it, or, if they have heard about it, they have not been given the guidance on how they can qualify.

THE BASIC CRITERIA FOR QUALIFYING:
1. The Veteran must have served at least 1 day during a qualified war period.
(Service did not have to be in an active combat zone.)
2. The Veteran must have served at least 90 days of active duty.
3. The Veteran must have received a better than dishonorable discharge.
4. The Claimant must be over the age of 65 or permanently or totally disabled
5. The Claimant as a surviving spouse of a qualified Veteran must not have divorced the veteran or
re-married after the veteran's death.
6. The Claimant or spouse needs assistance with daily living requirements (as certified by an MD)
7. The Claimant's monthly medical expenses must equal or exceed their monthly income.

The VA Aid and Attendance Improved Pension is one of the most under utilized benefits available to US Military War Period Veterans today. That's why the Bradley Law Firm PLLC is conducting a series of VA Aid & Attendance improved Pension seminars and workshops at a growing number of locations throughout our service area. We will present a seminar or workshop for any VFW or American Legion Post, Assisted Living Facility, Religious Senior Ministry, Chamber of Commerce, Rotary Club, bank or other financial institution, company, or association of any kind. We are also conducting seminars in our offices, and we are producing videos for the Internet and DVD's. Please contact our office for seminar and workshop schedules to discuss any of these opportunities or to make an appointment with J. Anthony Bradley to discuss the details privately.

One of only a few VA Accredited Attorneys in the Mid-South, J. Anthony Bradley, is able to help qualified war period veterans and their spouses acquire this valuable benefit.
