Veterans seminar focuses on disability benefits



Edition Date: 07/27/08


The Idaho Division of Veterans Services, the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Disabled American Veterans will hold an informational seminar on VA disability benefits for veterans and their widows from 6-8 p.m. Aug. 12 at the DoubleTree Hotel Riverside, 2900 Chinden Blvd., Garden City. People interested in attending must pre-register by Aug. 7. The event is free and open to the public.

A focus of the seminar will be on the VA's non-service connected benefit, commonly referred to as an "Aid and Attendance" benefit, and how it may help eligible veterans or their surviving spouses pay for assisted living or skilled nursing care.

The event is open to veterans and their family members, care providers, social workers and others involved in veterans issues.
