How We Help Veterans and Surviving Spouses
Our experienced team helps Veterans and surviving spouses navigate the VA Aid and Attendance Benefits process, providing support from first steps of eligibility screening through long-term benefit oversight.
Eligibility Screening
VAPS provides a FREE eligibility screening for Veterans and Surviving Spouses to determine whether they may qualify to apply for VA Aid & Attendance Benefits. Our review helps families understand potential eligibility, requirements, and next steps at no cost and with no obligation.
Apply For Benefits
VAPS works in coordination with a qualified VA Accredited Attorney to help eligible Veterans and Surviving Spouses put together a complete VA Aid & Attendance Benefits application. Our team then assists with submitting the application directly to the VA's internal system to help ensure accuracy and completeness.
Management & Monitoring
VAPS continues supporting our Clients after submission by monitoring and managing the application through every stage. Our team provides real-time status updates, helps reduce delays and errors, and supports a smoother process while also monitoring our Clients' account for 12 months after their application is approved.
