The VA pays a pension to disabled veterans who are not able to work. The pension is also available for surviving spouses and children.

“Veterans deserve special attention, so we take our role as advocates seriously. We work to enusure that veterans and their families enhance their quality of life. The practice areas at Senior Life Care Planning, LLC include VA applications, and other areas of paramount importance to veterans.
If we give tax breaks to millionaires and billionaires that cost us $700 billion that we don’t have, that money has to come from somewhere. And we’ve got to be able to provide for our veterans. I’d rather choose veterans. I’d rather choose these young people who are looking for scholarships.
Everyone understands sales people, including those in finance and insurance, make money when people buy their products or services. But residents of senior living communities – such as the 94-year-old mother – can be especially vulnerable targets.
These financial scammers state that “we’ll get you eligible for VA benefits, thus you’ll have more income, to pay for the assisted living facility or the home care nurse, and all you have to do is purchase this annuity.”
