If you are a Veteran or widow of a Veteran, you may be entitled to certain Veteran benefits from the US Department of Veteran Affairs (VA).
We proudly serve those who have served our country, helping them get the benefits and resources they have more than earned.
Our VA-accredited attorneys represent Veterans, the surviving spouses of Veterans, and their families.
The VA provides a wide range of benefits to seniors facing long-term care, including financial assistance for medications and medical services.
You may also qualify for a program called “Aid and Attendance Pension.”
The Aid & Attendance Pension can help pay for long term care expenses related to assistance at home or in an assisted living facility.
There are asset, income, and medical requirements to qualify for VA Aid & Attendance benefits.
To ensure you aren’t wrongfully denied, contact our VA Accredited Attorney team so we can get you the benefits you deserve.

The Veterans Aid & Attendance Pension program provides monthly payments to help with long term care costs for Veterans and spouses who meet the following requirements:
If you or your spouse served at least one day during a period of war, had 90 days of continuous military service, and were discharged from a branch of the U.S. armed forces under conditions that were not dishonorable, you may be eligible for this pension benefit.
At Friedman Elder Law Department, we help South Florida Veterans and elders from all walks of life get the benefits they deserve. Working with our experienced team will make it easier for you or your loved ones to qualify for benefits when the time comes.

The Aid & Attendance benefit is non-service connected, meaning that the Veteran did not have to be injured during service to receive benefits.
In addition to the requirements outlined above, the Veteran or surviving spouse also needs to meet a medical need test to receive VA Aid & Attendance benefits.
You must meet at least one of these medical requirements:
You must also meet income and net worth limits that Congress sets.
However, some items are exempt from your net worth total. Your primary residence, vehicle, prepaid funeral planning, and other minor resources are not countable.
If you, as the Veteran or the surviving spouse of the Veteran, has assets above the limit, there are legal solutions available. Our experienced attorneys can help Veterans and their families prepare to qualify for these benefits, which can be a tremendous blessing to families with loved ones in assisted living.
