Did you KNOW that there
are financial benefits available in Florida for Veterans or their
surviving spouses for non-service connected disabilities?
Most elder veterans think that they may not eligible because they were not injured or incapacitated during wartime. Not true!
If you are a Veteran, or the surviving spouse of a Veteran who:
1. Served at least 90 days on active duty and at least one day during wartime
2. Was honorable dischared
3. Qualifies financially and medically as follows:
 Net worth (home excluded) $80,000 or less
Income not exceeding maximum pension amount
Requires care or assistance on regular basis.
...you may be eligible for the VA non-service connected
disability pension of up to $1,740 per month through the Federal Government Veteran Aid and Attendance Program.
Problem: Many
Veterans are not aware of the program! Finally, when Veterans
become aware, the pension typically takes several months to approve.
Solution:
Advocare has teamed with VetAssist™, a private program
that assists Veterans to make application with the Veterans
Administration, and can provide care within 10 to 30 days after
completion of an application. They will assist the veteran or the
veteran's family to determine if they qualify. There are several
types of specific benefits that may be available.

pension covering assistance with in home assistance daily living activities such as bathing, eating, dressing, transferring, toileting, and continence . This may also include assistance with personal care services such as meal preparation, bathing, grooming and dressing.
Second, the Aide and Attendance Program may also cover the services of a RN
Care Manager to provide the veteran or a surviving spouse
assistance with medication management, coordination of medical care,
and coordination of services for their care and assistance with
activities of daily living and . The RN Care Manager can assist in finding the right medical specialists, coordinating medical treatments, and organizing prescription medications.
