Looking into applying for Aid and Attendance benefits to help my mother as she was just moved to an assisted-living facility. Has anyone tried to apply for this on their own? I have got some info from an eldercare specialist and was referred to a law practice specializing in vet benefits assistance. Do we need a lawyer or can this be accomplished on our own? Seems she'll have to qualify for and receive death benefits first (now that she's paying for assisted living she should have next to no income and she doesn't have any significant assets so I think she'll qualify now) and then the Aid and Attendance is a supplement to that assuming she qualifies (from what I can see, she will). I don't know how difficult all this will be. Any experiences to share?
