​

How do I Qualify for the Benefit?

The VA looks at three things when approving the benefit:

​

1. Service Record

2. Income/VA Deductible Medical Expenses

3. Assets

Many veterans don’t apply for the benefit because they think they are overqualified, or are simply unaware that the benefit exists.  Other veterans have been misinformed regarding the benefit. If you have questions, call us and let us see if we can help.
