Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America

Senior Veterans · Louisiana · Free

IAVA — services and advocacy for post-9/11 veterans. Worth contacting before nursing home placement — VA may cover a portion that Medicaid won't. Walk-in help available at every VFW, American Legion, and DAV post; appointments preferred but rarely required. Survivors Pension is the VA benefit for low-income surviving spouses of wartime veterans — often confused with DIC (different program). Free of charge — no eligibility paperwork required to call or browse.
