Money: In order to qualify for the full benefit, your income must be less than your cost of care. The amount of assets is a more subjective process and would be best to consult with an accredited agent or attorney who understands the rules.
Too many Veterans are being told that they do not qualify for VA assistance. Or, they simply believe they don’t qualify for benefits because they have been misinformed that their current income or their assets are too high to be approved. O en this is not true. It is important that you work with an advisor who understands the programs and can assist you in preparing and presenting your claim.
