Remembering those who served our country in the spirit of the holidays brought thousands of veterans, family members and active duty service members together to participate in the event. This year, Farr Law Firm sponsored 10 wreaths on National Wreaths Across America Day, Dec. 14, 2013.  These wreaths were laid at Arlington National Cemetery by thousands of volunteers, including our own Grace Everitt (pictured above) - one of our Medicaid Paralegals.

Veterans Aid & Attendance pension benefits are intended to be a form of financial assistance to meet the care needs of veterans and their surviving spouses.  See below for details about eligibility:

• If you are younger than age 65, then you must be completely disabled in order to receive this benefit.
• Those over 65 do not have to be disabled. However, the veteran or spouse must be in need of regular aid and attendance due to inability to dress oneself, feed oneself, loss of coordination or other conditions, as described on our website. The need must be scheduled and ongoing aid and attendance from someone else, but does not need to be 24-hour care.
• You or your spouse must have served on active duty for at least 90 days, at least one day of which occurred during a period designated as wartime (see our website). There must have been a non-dishonorable discharge as well. Single surviving spouses of such veterans are also eligible.
