Helping veterans and their spouses pay for long-term care

There are currently more than 25 million veterans alive in the United States and more than 9 million surviving spouses of veterans currently living in the United States.

Many of these veterans and surviving spouses are receiving long term care or will need some type of long term care in the near future, and there are funds available from the Veterans Administration ("VA") to help pay for that care. Unfortunately, many of those who are eligible have no idea that any type of benefits exist for them or that an attorney can help them become eligible.
