Helping Veterans Get the Benefits They Deserve
The Department of Veterans Affairs manages the Veterans Improved Pension program, which gives eligible Veterans and their widows/widowers a monthly benefit. This program is vastly different from the Disability Compensation benefit veterans receive for service-related disabilities. Lacey Lyons Rezanka understands that this pension benefit can help veterans and their widows/widowers afford in-home caregivers, assisted living facilities and even the basic costs of living. Planning for these benefits differs from Medicaid eligibility. VA planning must take into consideration future Medicaid eligibility for both the veteran and their spouse.VA Benefits in Florida
