Thank a Veteran this Independence Day!
![]() In the United States, Independence Day is a federal holiday celebrating the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, declaring independence from Great Britain. Every year on the Fourth of July, many celebrate our country's freedom through barbeques, fireworks and spending time with friends and family. In the midst of these celebrations, it is important to remember that our country was built - and its freedom and security ensured - through the service, and sacrifices, of generations of military men and women. During this Independence Day holiday, The Fairfax Veterans Planning Law Firm of Evan H. Farr, P.C. would like to recognize and honor all those who are now serving or have previously served our country. Independence Day is a reminder of the many brave people who give their lives to defend our country. So as you celebrate with your friends and family, please remember and pray for those that are protecting this nation and cannot be with friends and family. Did you know that millions of veterans and their families--our nation's greatest heroes--are eligible for Veterans benefits but they do not know about them or take advantage of them. This could be because there is confusion over the benefits available, eligibility requirements, and the complexity of the application process itself. If you or your spouse are a veteran, then you may be eligible for the Veterans Aid and Attendance special pension program. It is available to veterans, or their widowed spouses, if they meet the eligibility requirements. Aid and Attendance benefit pays up to $2,054 for the veteran and over $1,113 to the spouse to assist with medical expenses and the cost of long-term care. Evan H. Farr is an Accredited Attorney with the U.S. Dept. of Veterans Affairs, who understands both the Veterans Aid and Attendance Benefit and the Medicaid program and the interaction between both benefit programs. If you are a Veteran or spouse of a Veteran and you need assistance, make an appointment today for a free consultation. We can work with you to evaluate whether you qualify for The Veterans Aid and Attendance Benefit and help you file the paperwork. P.S. Veterans can take advantage of a special 15% discount at The Fairfax Veterans Planning Law Firm of Evan H. Farr, P.C. Call us at 703-691-1888 to make an appointment for a no-cost consultation.
