It Is Sad To Say, But Many Veterans Are Not Aware Of The ‘Veteran’s Aid & Attendance Pension’…They Don’t Realize That They May Qualify For This Program!!
Do you qualify for an obscure benefit available for American Veterans that served during war time?
Aging happens… and many seniors fear that their life savings could be wiped out to pay for their medical care. Whether a senior is at home, paying for needed assistance with daily activities or paying for care in an assisted living facility, these expenses can be overwhelming to a family. If you or a family member needs extra medical care, it is important that you understand your options to provide the needed care and at the same time be able to protect you’re retirement savings! Most veterans and their surviving spouses are not aware of these benefits.
A Veteran and/or surviving spouse who is over 65 and is disabled may qualify for money to pay medical and care expenses!
LA LAW Center, LLP is a private law firm that has attorneys ready to help War Time Veterans qualify for and access benefits administered by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). We are highly knowledgeable and experienced in VA benefits and VA law, as well as in the health care issues our senior clients face in their daily lives. Joseph McHugh, Esq. leads the LA LAW team and is accredited by the Department of Veterans Affairs to help Veterans in all matters involving VA benefits. He is also an experienced Elder Law/Estate Planning Attorney that can help families in crisis determine the best strategies in caring for seniors that have the need for increasing care. We also have a major interest in help Veterans not only qualify for VA benefits , but also look forward to make sure that you will also qualify for Medi-CAL if you health declines to the point that you need to be placed in a skilled nursing home.
NOTE: ** We are a private law firm. The founder and principal of our law firm, Joseph McHugh is accredited with the Veteran’s Administration and is experienced in helping Veterans access VA benefits.
** We are not employed by, or a part of, the Department of Veteran Affairs (VA).
** We are not a financial planning or insurance agency that is interested in only selling annuities.
** Beware of those offering insurance products that do not consider qualifications for Medi-CAL at the same time that you are applying for VA benefits. They can be offering you Veteran’s Benefits eligibility with a Medi-CAL Time Bomb! The Time Bomb is because some annuity products will qualify for VA benefits, but will not qualify as exempt assets when applying for Medi-CAL.
At LA LAW, we feel that it may not be long until skilled long term care nursing may be needed, so any VA planning MUST include planning strategies that will to satisfy both benefit programs rules. If not, a Veteran may face Medi-CAL denial and have to pay penalties to cancel the wrong type of annuity that was bought for to help qualify for Veterans benefits. Only the insurance agent wins! We are happy to work with insurance agents to help with these decisions to protect the Veteran or surviving spouse.
** There are legal ways of qualifying for VA benefits and avoiding the “Medi-CAL Time Bomb”, so do not look for the short cut into qualifying for this program. A short cut could be disastrous for your long term care needs!
** Best Advice is to seek experienced legal counsel before you make a decision!

The United States Department of Veteran’s Affairs (VA) has reported that thousands of veterans do not apply for this valuable benefit that they have legal rights to receive. Our governmental health care system is complex and not easy to get answers from, so it is very difficult for a Veteran or family members to understand VA benefits and how to get them. Veterans should seek legal counsel with a trusted attorney with Elder Law and Veterans experience to help guide them through the complex issues of finding resources to help pay for elder care and long-term care.
The United States Department of Veteran’s Affairs (VA) offers a variety of services for Wartime Veterans and their dependants. Unfortunately, some services are not used, because many Veterans or adult children caring for Veterans do not realize these services exist or that they or their loved ones may qualify for these VA benefits.
Many do not think to apply for VA benefits, even though situations with war-time service, low income, medical care costs, or disability may make them eligible to immediately get needed financial assistance. Sometime families have been told by someone at the VA or care facility that they don’t qualify… when they actually do! We at the LA LAW Center know the rules, the process and how to help you assess whether or not you do meet the eligibility requirements for needed VA benefits.
Requirements for Veterans’ benefits will change from time-to-time. Some VA benefits do not require a service-related injury, although they may require co-payments for veteran’s whose family income and assets exceed the annual limit for no-cost service. We recommend seeking legal counsel to verify your eligibility. LA LAW Attorney, Joseph McHugh is accredited by the Veterans Administration and will be able to help you find out exactly what you are eligible for and can help you with applying and dealing with the complex government process involved with Veterans’ benefits.
