We Assist With Veteran Benefits Planning

Without the proper planning and guidance when applying for veteran benefits, filing a successful claim can be a time-consuming and complicated process. In addition, you may not receive all the benefits you are entitled to or you may disqualify yourself from receiving benefits from other sources of government aid. For these reasons, it is important to get help from an experienced professional.

At Wright Abshire, we help clients by exploring sources for long-term care VA benefits without disqualifying them from Medicaid and other federal and state programs. We help form a comprehensive plan that considers the effects of and maximizes all public benefits. We also help clients understand the tax consequences of receiving the benefits available to them.

Aid and Attendance Pension Benefits

Veterans and widow(er)s of veterans may receive additional benefits from the VA if they need assistance with their activities of daily living — bathing, walking, eating, toileting and dressing. This benefit is a special monthly pension called "Aid and Attendance." Eligibility for Aid and Attendance is based on a person's monthly income; he or she must need financial assistance to provide the necessary medical care.

Understanding the regulations of Aid and Attendance as well as other sources of veteran aid can be extremely difficult to understand. Our firm will navigate you through the system, helping to make sure that we maximize the benefits you and your family receive.
