Helping elderly veterans with benefits issues

On Behalf of | Jul 9, 2015 | Veterans' Benefits

When a person is in their elderly years, they may be facing having a lower income due to no longer working. At this same time, they may also be facing new types of costs, such as nursing home costs and new medical costs. Thus, every possible stream of income can be an important one for an elderly individual. Consequently, it can be very important for elderly individuals to understand what sorts of benefits they may be able to qualify for given their particular circumstances.

For elderly individuals who served in our nation’s military, there are veterans benefits they may be able to have access to. For example, if an elderly veteran is suffering from a disability, they may be eligible to receive disability benefits from the VA.
