Veterans Benefits Lawyer in St. Petersburg Successfully Resolves Benefits Claims

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - July 19, 2013 - PRLog -- Those who have proudly served the United States in the armed forces are typically eligible for various benefits for their service. Veterans are sometimes unaware they are eligible for these benefits, however, and others simply don't receive all of the benefits for which they are eligible. Surviving spouses who have not remarried are often eligible for benefits as well. These tax free benefits can be a major help to those residing in assisted living facilities and those in need of home health care. An experienced veterans benefits lawyer in St. Petersburg can help veterans receive the benefits they are entitled to.

Veterans Who Are Eligible for Basic Pension Benefits

Recent polls indicate that more than half of American veterans are either unaware they are eligible for benefits or don’t understand the benefits available to them. Veterans and their surviving spouses with little to no income are typically eligible provided they meet the following conditions:

Are over the age of 65

Served a minimum of ninety days (with at least one day served during wartime)

Were not dishonorably discharged

Disabled veterans under the age of 65 may also qualify for benefits.
