Are You Looking for Financial Assistance for Veterans in Lexington, KY?


When it comes to Veterans’ benefits, there are three main elements to the VA pension eligibility process: Financial, medical, and service. If you are unsure whether you qualify for benefits or you are having difficulty because your assets are too significant to qualify, you may need legal help.

Elder Law Lawyers can assist you with rearranging your assets or creating a Veterans Administration Aid and Attendance Benefits Trust. Eligibility for veterans’ benefits is a confusing subject that you should not attempt to navigate on your own. To prevent disqualifications, it is important that you consult with an experienced veterans’ benefits lawyer.

These Benefits Include, But Are Not Limited To:

  • Education and formal training
  • Housing assistance
  • Life insurance
  • Survivor services

Let Us Help You Navigate Through the Often Confusing Requirements to Get Your Veterans Benefits


Veterans Affairs offers a variety of programs that include pension assistance programs, long-term care, and medical services, retirement facilities, and burial benefits. These programs have different eligibility requirements that depend on your service, health, financial situation, and marital assistance. Submitting an application on your own with incomplete or incorrect information could result in significant delays or make you ineligible for that program. It is always best to consult with a VA-accredited attorney before applying for financial assistance.

Programs and services for veterans are not the same everywhere for every veteran. Some programs are based on when and where you served, your length of service, the type of discharge you received, and whether it was in wartime or during peacetime.

Although the VA has made many recent changes, long-term care financial assistance has been available to certain veterans and their surviving spouses through the Department of Veterans Affairs for over six decades. This benefit, which does not require a service-connected disability, is intended to help cover the costs of caregivers in the home or help with the costs of assisted living or a nursing home.

This benefit is available to military service members who served as little as one day during designated wartime periods, have qualifying income levels, who are 65 and older, and who require assistance with two or more activities of daily living, such as dressing, bathing, eating or using the bathroom. Depending on the level of need, the current benefit can be as much as $2,054 monthly for a veteran and spouse and up to $1,113 for the widow of a veteran.
