Veterans Benefits

Veterans Benefits are one of the most misunderstood and underutilized resources that are available to veterans and their families. In fact, surviving spouses of deceased veterans are often qualified to receive benefits.

BENEFITS

There are a wide range of benefits available to veterans that most are unaware of.
Such benefits include:

Burial and Memorial
Death Pension
Disability Compensation
Employment & Training

Special Monthly Compensation
Survivor Benefits
Veterans Health Care
Veterans Life Insurance

That said, many eligible beneficiaries are denied these benefits because of the various technicalities involved with the application process. The process is tedious without the assistance of an experienced attorney. We have assisted many veterans in receiving these benefits and we are here to help.

QUALIFYING FOR BENEFITS

Those injured while serving in the military are entitled to compensation from the VA. In addition, most seniors who served in the military, or their surviving spouses, are often surprised to discover that they too are eligible for “pension” benefits–up to $2,127.08 per month (tax-free)! In order to qualify, the veteran must have served at least 90 days active duty and at least one of those days must have been during a war-time period (see below for war-time period dates). The veteran does NOT have to fight in the war, so long as he or she served during the wartime period, he or she qualifies!

WARTIME PERIODS

WORLD WAR I: April 6, 1917 – November 11, 1918

WORLD WAR II: December 7, 1941 – December 31, 1946

KOREAN WAR: June 27, 1950 – January 31, 1955

VIETNAM ERA: February 28, 1961 – May 7, 1975

GULF WAR: August 2, 1990 – no end date

SURVIVING SPOUSES QUALIFY!

If the veteran is deceased, the surviving spouse may also qualify for benefits. The surviving spouse must have been married to the veteran for at least one year prior to the veteran’s death, and must not have been separated from the veteran at the time of death. In other words, the surviving spouse does not qualify if he or she divorced the veteran prior to the death.

This is often helpful where the surviving spouse needs additional monies to pay for extra care within the home or in assisted living.
