Seeking Assistance to Apply for Benefits After Serving the Country

Published on June 26th, 2019

When it’s time to apply for veterans benefits, it’s inevitable that you will be faced with information that you will have questions about. These are benefits that will likely provide for the needs you have for the rest of your life, so it’s important to be well-informed. One option is to meet with one of the veterans benefits attorneys in Kentucky to get all of the documents completed and filed.

Notes On Applying

One of the things that you need to keep in mind when applying for benefits is that you are the one who needs to complete the application. A power of attorney can’t sign the documents, which is sometimes a concern for caregivers or family members who might have this power already. Your attorney can provide assistance with understanding all of the documents that need to be signed, and your power of attorney can also be present when discussing your benefits. However, the power of attorney can’t sign anything unless the person is also a fiduciary-a person who is designated to handle benefits that are distributed on behalf of the veteran who has applied for benefits.

Meeting With An Attorney

When meeting with one of the veterans benefits attorneys in Kentucky, you can talk about expediting the process. There are a few qualifications that need to be met to facilitate the claim, such as being terminally ill or over the age of 75. Another reason is if you are experiencing a financial burden, such as being in the process of losing your home or already homeless. Your attorney can alert the VA office about these issues so that the application for benefits is viewed and processed faster than other applications that are submitted. Keep in mind that you don’t need to have an illness to qualify for veterans benefits, which is something that many people feel would a part of why you would apply for the benefits in the first place. For questions or concerns, contact the Jackson & MacNichol Law Offices about veterans benefits you might be eligible to receive.
