In Your Service: The Veteran's Friend

A little-known, underused Department of Veterans Affairs program, available since 1951, exists that can assist with costs for a wide variety of needs-assisted living, enhanced independent living, home health care and nursing homes among them. It's called the Veterans Non-Service Connected Disability Pension, or Aid and Attendance Benefit. However, you likely don't know about it because the government has rarely promoted it. Many thousands of wartime veterans or their surviving spouses qualify for this benefit. It might be you. It's almost certainly somebody you know-a man with whom you served, a lifelong friend, perhaps a business colleague, maybe someone you met at one of the veterans' functions you attended over the years. In this vital book, financial planner, U.S. Marine Corps veteran and veteran's advocate Galen Maddy discusses the Aid and Attendance Benefit, and how a small group of attorneys and dedicated, certified individuals are working pro bono to assist eligible men and women in receiving this lifelong benefit. Are you one of these potentially eligible veterans or surviving spouses? Do you know a friend or family member who is? Then this might be the most important book you ever purchase.
