NJ Veterans Pension Benefits


Our veterans in New Jersey deserve special treatment in America. My job is to help get them the pension benefit they are entitled to. fniemann@hnlawfirm.com

 

If I am already receiving monthly payments or a service-connected disability can I get a VA pension too?

 
You cannot receive a VA non-service connected pension and service-connected compensation at the same time. However, if you apply for a pension and are awarded payments, VA will pay you whichever benefit is the greater amount. MORE INFO ON VA BENEFITS

What are Aid and Attendance and Housebound benefits?


  • Aid and Attendance (A&A) is a benefit paid in addition to monthly pension.   This benefit may not be paid without eligibility to pension.   A veteran may be eligible for A&A when:

    • The veteran requires the aid of another person in order to perform personal functions required in everyday living, such as bathing, feeding, dressing, attending to the wants of nature, adjusting prosthetic devices, or protecting himself/herself from the hazards of his/her daily environment, OR,
    • The veteran is bedridden, in that his/her disability or disabilities requires that he/she remain in bed apart from any prescribed course of convalescence or treatment, OR,
    • The veteran is a patient in a nursing home due to mental or physical incapacity, OR,
    • The veteran is blind, or so nearly blind as to have corrected visual acuity of 5/200 or less, in both eyes, or concentric contraction of the visual field to 5 degrees or less.
  • Housebound is paid in addition to monthly pension.    Like A&A, Housebound benefits may not be paid without eligibility to pension.   A veteran may be eligible for Housebound benefits when:

      • The veteran has a single permanent disability evaluated as 100-percent disabling AND, due to such disability, he/she is permanently and substantially confined to his/her immediate premises, OR,
      • The veteran has a single permanent disability evaluated as 100-percent disabling AND, another disability, or disabilities, evaluated as 60 percent or more disabling. A veteran cannot receive both Aid and Attendance and Housebound benefits at the same time.

     
     

    TESTIMONIAL

    I’m a World War II Veteran and reside in an assisted living residence in Monmouth County, New Jersey.  I hired Mr. Niemann, an attorney recommended to me by my family attorney as a lawyer experienced in elder law and veteran benefits.  I hired his firm for asset protection planning, Medicaid for my wife and the filing of an application for Veterans Aid and Attendance benefits.  The staff and professionals at Hanlon Niemann were all very capable, responsive and caring.  I feel like they are family to me.


    My legal affairs were capably and diligently processed and I was able to obtain the benefits my wife and I desperately needed. 


    I am grateful to Mr. Niemann and will recommend his office to all of my veteran friends.
