Many veterans and/or their families, and those appointed to care for them or their estates, are unaware of the disability benefits to which the veterans are entitled. If your practice areas include family law, elder law, guardianships and conservatorships, Social Security and estate planning, this seminar will prepare you to help your clients. Topics of discussion will include:

• Underlying statutes and available disability benefits for veterans
• Procedures for requesting disability benefits
• Challenging denial of disability benefits
• Benefits to non-service-connected veterans and their relatives
