VFW - Veterans of Foreign Wars

Senior Veterans · Connecticut · Free

Free claims help and member services for combat veterans and their families. Worth contacting before nursing home placement — VA may cover a portion that Medicaid won't. VA healthcare enrollment is a separate process from VA pension — both should be applied for if eligible. Survivors Pension is the VA benefit for low-income surviving spouses of wartime veterans — often confused with DIC (different program). No cost to older adults or the people helping them.
