American Veterans Aid on Veterans Benefits Programs

(Newswire.net — August 29, 2016) Orange, California — Veterans of U.S. military forces made tremendous sacrifices to serve their country. In their service, they survived many challenges before retiring or separating from the military.  As war veterans and their surviving spouses age, they face continued challenges, especially with the finances involved in healthcare and daily assistance.  American Veterans Aid, a California-based private company, understands the challenges wartime veterans face when applying for benefits.  The company specializes in assisting veterans 65 years or older and their surviving spouses to apply for the tax-free benefits known as the Aid and Attendance Benefit provided by the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs. “Aid programs are designed to give back to the veterans for the contributions they have made to our country,” says a spokesperson for the company. “As veterans and their spouses age, these benefits help offset the costs of long-term care.”  To learn more about the program and the company’s services, visit https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/american-veterans-aid.

The veterans’ Aid and Attendance Benefit was established by Congress and is administered by the Department of Veterans Affairs.  It is an amount awarded in addition to the basic veterans pension and is designed to help reimburse out-of-pocket medical expenses such as home care assistance or stays in assisted living facilities.  Many aging veterans and their spouses require help with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, cooking, and transportation to appointments. The benefit is tax-free and is available to those veterans and their spouses 65 or over who served during wartime periods. It may be available to those younger than 65 if they are permanently disabled as a result of their military service.  The VA-accredited claims agents at the company help veterans and their spouses apply for this benefits.  With their experience and care, they can find out if veterans qualify and assist with the paperwork required to receive this valuable healthcare benefit. “There are several veterans’ aid programs available to those who have served our country,” adds the spokesperson. “Age and health conditions may necessitate financial assistance, and Aid & Assistance can help defray the costs associated with caregivers or health facilities.”  American Veterans Aid was established in 2010 by a fellow war veteran who discovered that vets often had difficulties in receiving VA benefits.  The company is headquartered in Orange, California.  For more information on the assistance services they offer, visit https://www.linkedin.com/company/american-veterans-aid.
