Rooth & Rooth Elder Law Attorneys are dedicated to helping guide you to receiving veterans benefits that can allow you to obtain and maintain a respectable quality of life.

Veterans Benefits

Veterans of the United States military and their spouses who are eligible for Veterans Affairs (VA) pensions have additional benefits, which help to offset the rising costs of living. For instance, if you or your spouse requires the assistance of an in-home attendant for eating, bathing, or dressing, you would need to qualify for the Aid and Attendance program.

Eligibility Requirements

Not all veterans meet the eligibility requirements necessary to receive Aid and Attendance benefits. As dedicated attorneys, we will assist you in meeting these requirements while remaining compliant with the rules and regulations of the program. In the event that we are unable to help you meet the eligibility standards, we will have to reevaluate the situation and follow up on any changes that may be affecting your eligibility status. It is important to note that the Veterans Administration instituted new regulations in October 2018 for Aid and Attendance benefits.

Importance of Consulting an Attorney About Benefits

In order to ensure that you are working within the framework of the Veterans Administration and the rules of the Aid and Attendance program, it is critical that you consult with an attorney before making any financial decisions. If not, you could unknowingly make a transaction violation that could potentially disqualify you from these benefits or other state benefits, such as Medicaid.
