Veterans Benefits Planning at Fennell Elder Law and Estate Planning: Ensuring Veterans Get the Support They Deserve

Serving in the military is a noble duty that comes with sacrifices. Veterans should not have to struggle to access the benefits they’ve earned through their service. At Fennell Elder Law and Estate Planning, we assist veterans and their families with the intricate process of planning and applying for veterans’ benefits.

Understanding Veterans Benefits Planning

Veterans benefits planning involves understanding, applying for, and managing the benefits available to veterans and their surviving spouses. These benefits, provided by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), can include healthcare, disability compensation, pensions, education, and more.

One of the more complex benefits, the Aid and Attendance benefit, can provide significant monthly payments to help cover the cost of long-term care for those who qualify. However, understanding the qualifications, the application process, and the proper way to structure assets can be daunting.

Our Veterans Benefits Planning Services

Fennell Elder Law and Estate Planning offers an array of veterans benefits planning services:

1. Benefits Analysis

We provide a comprehensive analysis of the pension with aid and attendance benefits available and help determine if you may qualify for those benefits. If you do not immediately qualify, we can provide guidance on how to get in the position to qualify for pension with aid and attendance benefits.

Once eligible, a veteran can receive up to $2,642 per month, and a surviving spouse of a veteran can receive up to $1,432 per month (these are the 2023 payment amounts which change annually). These funds can be used to supplement the cost of home care, the cost of independent living, assisted living, or skilled (nursing home) care.

2. Application Assistance

We assist with the complex application process, ensuring all necessary documentation is correctly completed and submitted, and will track the application through its completion.

3. Appeals Assistance

If a claim is denied, we can help appeal the decision, providing guidance and support throughout the appeal process.

4. Asset Restructuring

To qualify for certain benefits, you may need to restructure your assets. We provide advice on ethical and legal strategies for asset restructuring to meet eligibility requirements.

5. Continuous Monitoring

We continuously monitor changes in VA benefits laws and regulations to provide up-to-date advice and ensure ongoing eligibility.
