Canadian Senior War Veterans Miss Out on Possible Benefits, by Sharen Marteny
If you served overseas during the Second World War or during the Korean War, then you should call Veterans Affairs (1-866-522-2122). This applies to both male and female veterans. It is estimated that only 40 per cent of the veterans who qualify for benefits are receiving them. Even if you did not qualify before, you might qualify now. If during the Second World War you were in the military but you did go overseas, you too may be eligible for benefits. When you call the toll free number listed above, your call is documented and assigned the most appropriate Veterans Affairs staff person. If you do qualify for benefits then they may be retroactive to the date of your call. If you do not qualify then the date of your call is still recorded and may be used if eligibility requirements change in the future.

Veterans Affairs were amazing for my Mom. She had very little money but they took care of everything. In the final ten years of her life she needed to be in a home. She continued to pay her normal rent of approx. $850.00 and they paid the rest. Her monthly costs at the home were in excess of $3,000.00. Any Veteran needing financial assistance with home care, wheel chair, special equipment, . . . anything should call.
Hi Diane,
Thanks for your comments, they are the best, and every time we are working with the aging, one of our standard questions is. Are you or your spouse a Vetreran. Veterans Affairs, they are Pfanntastic.....
Happy Selling
