The Teiger Law Office attorneys are proud to help veterans in and around Alpharetta, planning for VA Aid & Attendance eligibility. Of the 22.7 million veterans, 55% are 65 years or older. Disabled wartime veterans and their surviving spouses can receive additional funds (up to $1,949, tax-free income, per month) to help with at-home care, nursing home and assisted living care costs through the “Non-Service Connected Pension with Aid and Attendance” benefit through the Department of Veterans Affairs. Accredited to help veterans with claims, we can step you through the qualifying process, ensuring that all paperwork and documentation is filed correctly.
Eligibility for this benefit must be carefully and correctly documented, to prove a minimum of 90 days of active military duty (if service occurred after 1980, 24 months of active military duty is required) and that the veteran served a minimum of one day of active duty service during a declared time of war. Honorable discharge is also a requirement. To determine if you are eligible for Aid and Attendance benefits, contact the lawyers at the Teiger Law Center with offices in Alpharetta and Cumming. Together we’ll review the aspects of your claim, including consideration of how the benefit fits in with your total retirement plan, including Medicaid planning, both currently and in the future.

We’ll also clear up some common misperceptions including:
Income and assets do not disqualify you from this benefit.
Disability (or where you received it) will not disqualify you from this benefit.
Developing a chronic disability after service/discharge does not disqualify you from this benefit.
Veterans are considered disabled if over age 65, regardless of health condition.
