Veteran's Aid and Attendance

Did you know that there are benefits available for long term care for veterans? The program is called "Aid and Attendance" and it is available to a veteran or surviving spouse of a veteran who requires asssistance in their daily living. The veteran or surviving spouse must be disabled but the disability does not have to related to service in the war. There are some income and asset limits, but unlike Medicaid planning, there is no penalty for transferring assets. For more information contact Law Offices of Minerva Vazquez Bailey at (954) 342-4077.
