National Veterans Legal Services Program

Senior Veterans · Oregon · Free

Free legal assistance to veterans on disability claims and benefits. Worth contacting before nursing home placement — VA may cover a portion that Medicaid won't. Most claims take 4-8 months; some are decided faster via the Fully Developed Claim path with all evidence submitted upfront. Aid & Attendance adds up to ,800/mo for married couples; most eligible wartime vets and surviving spouses never apply. Free service; donations support but never gate access.
