A pre-recorded streaming VIDEO replay of one session from the September 2019 live seminar, 28th Annual Advanced Elder Law Update.
Cosponsored with the Virginia Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (VAELA)
The benefits available to elder and disabled clients from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) serve as useful tool in the elder law attorney's tool box. On October 18, 2018, the VA implemented major changes in the Pension Benefit Program. The VA published Final Rule substantially changes VA disability pension eligibility rules. Additionally in February 2019, the VA completely overhauled the claim appeal system. These changes and other recent procedure changes need to be integrated into our practices to ensure our clients receive the maximum benefit available.
