Positive experience We had a great experience with American Veterans Aid. They helped us navigate the paperwork required by the VA. and made the process smooth. My dad, 95 years old is very happy to have the pressure off of him.

VA to the rescue This VA benefit has allowed my 92 year old mother to pay my brother for taking care of her 24/7 365. He has taken care of her for years and until now has been a thankless job. He feeds her a diabetic diet, administers her insulin, checks her sugar and blood pressure, makes sure she gets her meds and takes her to all of her appointments. We are so grateful for him and now he can actually get compensated for all his hard work.

The folks at American Veterans Aid are… The folks at American Veterans Aid are experts in guiding you through the process of applying for VA financial aide for spouses of veterans. The extra financial support is allowing my mom to live safely with the care she needed. I can’t imagine trying to navigate the process without their help.

Initial process good then it dragged on and on Initial process was good, inputting all information requested was a chore but went fairly smoothly. Working out details got a little harder. It became progressively more difficult to get in touch with my assigned case manager. Neither phone messages, emails or texts were answered in a timely manner. After packet was submitted, and a submission date confirmed, silence fell. There were no more updates on progress or when we might see our funds. Total was eight months from date of submission of info (Feb) to funds appearing in our account (Sept). That was much longer than the 3-4 months I’d been told to expect.

Impressed with AVA's staff and commitment The AVA guidebook was informative and very helpful for the application process. Everyone I dealt with (on behalf of our 90 yr old Mom) via phone or email was professional, understanding, and very responsive. I was impressed with the turnaround time with every document I sent in via email, and it was confirmed as received as received with a return email. We had requested expedited processing due to age and declining health; and it was honored. Thank you!
