THE VETERAN ADMINISTRATION’S BEST KEPT SECRET
Did you ever hear of the VA Pension Aid & Attendance awarded to Veterans or their surviving Spouses to help pay for their care?
Don’t feel bad most people never heard of this and sadly this pension was passed back in 1952!
Every year the VA has over 40 million dollars of unclaimed pension money, which they reallocated to something else.
So what is this pension, and how can you receive it ?
Here are some basics on what it is and who can qualify . If you need more details look on my website under Veterans Benefits or better yet give me a call and I can tell if you or a family member is qualified to receive the pension money, my consultation is FREE.
- Who is it for; Vets or Surviving Spouse , 65 yrs of age or older
