Experienced Spokane VA Benefits Attorney

Comprehensive VA Benefit Services in Spokane, Washington

Many of the veterans who served our country are suffering from chronic health problems. Sadly, millions of these veterans aren’t taking advantage of the extensive benefits available to them. In addition to helping offset medical costs, VA benefits can also ensure access to quality health care.

There is a special pension benefit available to veterans and spouses of veterans who have passed away. The Aid and Attendance Pension Benefit is a monthly cash benefit that is paid out for the lifetime of the veteran or their surviving spouse.

In order to qualify for the Aid and Attendance Pension Benefit, the veteran must have served for at least 90-consecutive days, received a better than dishonourable discharge, served a minimum of one active duty day within a war period, and must require assistance with activities of daily living. With the help of a VA-accredited lawyer, the veteran or surviving spouse may qualify for these benefits and preserve assets.

If you believe you or a loved one may qualify from the Washington Veteran’s Aid and Attendance benefit, contact a Spokane VA benefits attorney at Evergreen Elder Law for a free consultation today.

What is the VA, Aid, and Attendance Benefit?

The Aid and Attendance benefit helps senior veterans in Eastern Washington & Northern Idaho when paying for long-term care. Unfortunately, it is a very underutilized benefit that many veterans are unaware of. This benefit can also help a surviving spouse of a veteran pay for long-term care. It is a cash benefit that is paid monthly for the rest of the veteran or surviving spouses’ life.

In the Eastern Washington area, there are no doubt thousands who qualify for these benefits considering the proximity to military bases. This benefit could help many veterans and their spouses pay for the high costs of long-term care.

If you are a veteran or surviving spouse of a veteran, contact our office to attain this cash benefit for the rest of your life.

How Much is Available to Veterans From the VA, Aid, and Attendance Benefit?

Once the application is submitted and approved the cash benefit is paid directly to the veteran or surviving spouse on a monthly basis for the remainder of their lives. The benefit amounts are as follows:

  • Married Veterans: $3032/month or $36,384/year
  • Veterans Pension with Spouse: $2266/month or $27,192/year

Testimonials

I did some research and exploration and came upon the offices of Evergreen Elder Law. From the moment I spoke with the receptionist I felt respected, valued and regarded as an important client. I made an appointment for March 20, 2018. When I presented to their offices I spoke with someone who was sympathetic for my loss, confident that their offices could help and exuded competence. I was heartened to note that they were recognized as “Client Choice “Estate Law Office” for 2016.” And my experience with their offices made me a believer.

ANTHONY

When my mother retired it became apparent we as a family needed help, Holland Mcburns was recommended by an acquaintance of the family. She was professional and very thorough and informative. I felt she was very up to date on the current opportunities that would best benefit my elderly mother, and make her retirement years worry free. After working with Mrs Mcburns, it was apparent that many people would benefit from her knowledge and dedication. I highly recommend her, and look forward to working with her on my estate planning.

Holland is a great listener and lawyer. When we came to her with our needs, she thoughtfully listened, was helpful with all our questions, and then explained our options. Her sense of humor helped us through some long waits with the system. In the end, we ended up with a surprisingly favorable settlement and a good friend in the courts.
