How We Work for You

1. We explain the history and purpose of the Aid & Attendance Pension and the four areas the VA will analyze in determining a claimants qualification.

2. We explain and provide the Pension related forms necessary to apply as well as a complete list of the personal documents they will need to gather and how to get them if they are not on hand.

3. We guide the veteran and/or family in the elimination of obstacles standing in the way of qualification, i.e. improper discharge papers and incomplete doctor’s examination.  For financial obstacles, our professional consulting services help bring the claimant's financial picture into alignment with VA and Medicaid standards.  Our consultation includes:

• Proposed realignment plan explained and discussed with all questions answered
• A final visual of the claimant’s financial picture incorporating proposed changes and the VA Pension
• Medicaid or Aid & Attendance crisis prevention. Medicaid has a 5 year look back.  The Aid & Attendance  Pension has a 3 year look back

4. We ask the veteran or family to watch their mail and the designated bank account for any communication or deposit from the VA.  We continue to guide the family until the Pension installments due from the date of application have been paid.

5. We appreciate and edify our referring communities.  We let their families and referrals know how positive it is that they are taking steps through a partnership with us to help them qualify for this Pension.
