What Every Veteran Needs to Know About VA Benefits This 4th of July

As we gather this Fourth of July to celebrate the freedoms we cherish, it’s important to recognize the veterans and military families who made those freedoms possible. At Elder Law Guidance, we want to say thank you — not just with words, but with action.

This summer, we’re launching a VA Benefits Webinar Series designed to empower veterans and their loved ones with the information they need to access the support they’ve earned.

Too Many Veterans Miss Out on Benefits — Don’t Be One of Them

Many veterans are surprised to learn just how many benefits exist — and how few are well-publicized. For instance, did you know there’s a Wartime Pension benefit available to certain veterans who served during a period of war, even if they never saw combat? It’s one of the most misunderstood and underutilized VA programs — and it could provide monthly income to help pay for long-term care at home or in an assisted living facility.

In our upcoming webinar, “The VA Benefit You’ve Never Heard Of: Wartime Pension … Who Qualifies & What’s Available,” we’ll break down what this benefit covers, who qualifies, and how to apply.

Upcoming VA Webinars to Help You Navigate the System

Here’s a preview of the full series we’re offering this summer and fall 2025:

  1. The VA Benefit You’ve Never Heard Of: Wartime Pension … Who Qualifies & What’s Available
  2. Service-Connected Disability: Your Claim, Fixing It, and the Appeal Process
  3. The VA Said I Don’t Qualify for That! Why Am I Not Surprised?
  4. The VA Benefit That Allows You to Take Care of Your Wife After You’re Gone

You Served. Now It’s Time to Be Served.

The VA system can feel overwhelming — and discouraging. But we’re here to help you cut through the red tape, understand what’s available, and take the next steps with confidence.

So as you enjoy fireworks and family time this Fourth of July, know that support is available — and you don’t have to figure it out alone.

From all of us at Elder Law Guidance.
Happy Independence Day, and thank you for your service.

Client Testimonials

S.B. | Richmond, KY

Elder Care Law

“I have been working with Scott Collins’ law firm for a couple of months. They have always treated me with respect and have been very knowledgeable in the Elder Care Law. They calmed all fears that I had during a traumatic time with my elder mother. If you need any legal help in the elder law field I highly recommend this law firm.”

G.C. | Richmond, KY

Elder Law, Trusts, Power of Attorney

“Exceptionally pleased with Scott and his team! They are very patient to explain complex ins and outs of elder law, Trusts, Powers of Attorney, Wills, risk assessments, etc. They patiently and carefully guide you through the Trust process, especially those of us unfamiliar with estate planning to achieve what YOU want. They are also willing to work with other estate partners like financial advisors, financial institutions, CPAs and family members in these efforts. We’ve used his services for our parents and now for our estate planning. Scott’s team is trustworthy, professional, thorough, receptive and knowledgeable. We highly recommend them!!”

V.F. | Union City, KY

Estate Planning, Medicaid Planning, Probate

“I tried to do everything myself and the bills got so overwhelming with parents in assisted living and the nursing facility. I quickly realized I was not going to be able to make the money work so that’s the point I started searching for help ….Scott sat down with us and made us feel very comfortable … we went over the options we had and the things he could help us with…. There was no pressure.”

S.H. | Kirksville, KY

Medicaid Planning, Probate

“We were dealing with a lot of emotions, a lot of really hard times and then you have to worry on top of that if somebody is going to hurt your family more…  I never felt that with Scott and his team … Every time I came in, I felt welcomed and at that time I really needed that because it showed compassion when you’re going through a crazy, Topsy turvy life.”

C.W. | Richmond KY

Veterans Pension, Estate Planning

“I would recommend anyone nearing retirement to talk to Scott and get what needs to be done prepared for the future … A lot of times we think the future is way off, it’s not. I found that out myself.”

B.C. | Irvine, KY

Guardianship, Medicaid Planning

“He was right there with me all the time to help me take care of everything… I had a small farm my mommy and daddy left me, which is the first thing they wanted…. He saved me a lot of things I could have lost if it hadn’t been for him.”
