Veterans benefits can reduce the cost of long-term care and provide monthly support for eligible veterans and surviving spouses. At Golden Grove Law PC, we help families evaluate eligibility for VA Pension and Aid & Attendance, organize the documentation needed for a strong submission, and coordinate benefits planning with elder law and Medi-Cal strategy when appropriate. Whether you’re planning ahead or responding to an urgent care transition, we provide clear guidance grounded in federal rules and real-world implementation.

Types of Services

Eligibility Review (Veteran or Surviving Spouse). A clear assessment of service, marital, age/disability, and care needs to determine whether VA Pension or Aid & Attendance is a realistic fit.

Income & Asset Analysis (VA Rules). Review recurring income, unreimbursed medical expenses, and assets to understand how the VA is likely to evaluate the claim.

Documentation & Submission Support. Help gathering and organizing the supporting documents that typically matter most — service records, medical and care documentation, and financial records — so the submission is complete and internally consistent.

Aid & Attendance Care-Level Support. Guidance on documenting assistance needs and care arrangements (in-home care, assisted living, or facility care) in a way that matches the program requirements.

Planning for the VA "Lookback" and Transfers. Evaluate transfer history and timing issues that can affect benefits, and develop a compliant plan that aligns with long-term care decisions.

Coordination with Elder Law & Medi-Cal Planning. Evaluate transfer history and timing issues that can affect benefits, and develop a compliant plan that aligns with long-term care decisions.
