Veterans Benefits

If you are a Veterans or if you know of a Veteran, please read this important article about benefits that are available for those who qualify.



You cannot be charged for assistance with your VA application.

The applicant will only be paid back to the date that the application is TURNED IN.

It is not difficult to apply if you have trained advocates to assist you.

The Facts:
-VA Pensions are available for Veterans OR surviving spouses of Veterans.
-$22 Billion dollars is set aside each year for pension but very little is ever used.
-Millions of WWII and Korean War Veterans have no idea that it is even available.
-Surviving spouses of Veterans can qualify if they were married to the Veteran at his time of death, and have not remarried since (unless the most recent marriage was to a Veteran).


Preliminary Qualifications:
-90 days of active duty (anywhere in the world), with 1 day during wartime
-Honorably or Medically discharged
-Privately paying for Medical Expenses


Pension amounts:
-Married Veterans receive $1,949.00 per month / Both spouses Veterans $1,291 each
-Single Veterans receive $1,632.00 per month
-Widows of Veterans receive $1,055.00 per month

Department of Veterans Affairs pensions do not work like Medicaid. They are based upon the amount of medical expenses paid out of pocket for:
• Home Health Caregivers and Nursing Homes
• Assisted Living Communities and Alzheimer’s Communities
• Prescriptions and Medicare Supplement Insurance

There are other internet sources that may give out incomplete information to those who are asking for it. Please call even if you feel that you may not qualify.
