Veterans and their families are often entitled to receive a wide range of benefits as a result of their military service. Most attorneys and veterans are not aware of the full range of benefits that are available. For instance a veteran who has served in time of war and who is vocationally disabled may receive a need based benefit even if is injury or illness is not service connected. It is also possible for a veteran or his spouse receive aide and assistance in their home or assisted living facility (similar to long term care) if they are unable function independently. Many veterans believe that they have to have an honorable discharge to receive veterans’ benefits, but the truth is that many veterans that have received other discharges are also able to receive full benefits. These are but a few examples of the type of benefits that are often overlooked.
Veterans who are in need of disability benefits face the challenges of long delays and a confusing nightmare of red tape. Recent changes in the regulations have made it possible for private attorneys to be of much greater assistance with veterans’ disability claims.
