Veterans Benefits Law Seminar by Expert Victoria L. Collier

I have just spent the last three days in beautiful San Diego, CA attending a workshop by one of the foremost legal authorities on Veterans Benefits Law, Georgia Elder Law attorney Victoria L. Collier. A veteran herself, Ms. Collier has amassed an incredible wealth of knowledge and experience in helping veterans qualify for, apply for, and actually obtain benefits that have already been earned, but are often overlooked by veterans and their families when searching for ways to pay for long-term care.

Many veterans, widows (or widowers) of veterans, and disabled children of veterans are not aware of the benefits that may be available to them. My own grandfather was an honorably discharged, World War II veteran who put everything on the line for his country. Nevertheless, he failed to obtain a number of these wonderful benefits merely because neither he, nor his family members (myself included) were aware of them, or of the steps required to claim them. Although I was not an attorney at that time, I often look back with regret at the fact that we were not more aware of the availability of these benefits. Only now do I realize how much that extra income could have helped him.
 

As an Elder Law attorney, I have consulted with clients on this very topic. Naturally, these clients are delighted when they learn of these benefits and realize that they do not have to become impoverished first in order to claim them. However, the laws that govern veterans benefits are complex and change frequently. It is crucial for any professional who advises clients on this topic to keep themselves abreast of the changes in the law and policies promulgated for their interpretation. Over the next few weeks, I will share with my readers many of the most important changes in this area of law. And more importantly, I will share information that will help you determine whether you, or someone you know, can become qualified to claim these hard-earned benefits. Stay tuned and please feel free to post comments or questions on the topic.
