About Us

Serving Veterans With Integrity, Transparency, and Legal Oversight.

At My Veteran Solutions, we help veterans and their families navigate the complex Aid and Attendance application process by offering private, non-government support under the guidance of a VA-accredited attorney.

We are not affiliated with the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), and we do not offer access to government benefits or documents. Our mission is to make sure veterans don’t miss out on potential support simply because they didn’t understand the process. 

 

Our Story

Every year, thousands of eligible veterans and surviving spouses go without accessing the Aid and Attendance pension — often because they don’t know it exists or they’re unsure how to apply.

Founded by the son of a U.S. Army veteran, My Veteran Solutions was created to bridge this gap. Our founder witnessed firsthand how difficult it can be to navigate the VA process and wanted to make it easier for others to receive the support they may be entitled to.

We’ve built a team of professionals focused on education, documentation support, and case preparation — all under the legal supervision of a VA-accredited attorney.

Our Mission

To empower veterans and their loved ones by simplifying the process of preparing a claim for the VA Aid and Attendance benefit — while offering clarity, dignity, and experienced legal oversight every step of the way.

We offer:

  • Educational resources about VA pension programs
  • Guidance through eligibility criteria
  • Help organizing required documentation
  • Claim preparation under a VA-accredited attorney
  • Administrative support and case tracking

Only the VA can make final determinations about eligibility and award amounts.

Frequently Asked Questions

What documents do I need to apply for Aid & Attendance benefits?

Our team will assist you in gathering all necessary documents required by the VA, including:

  • Your DD-214 Military Discharge papers
  • A copy of your current Social Security Award letter
  • Proof of all income and assets

How long does it take to be approved for benefits?

The time frame for approval depends on the workload of your region's pension center. Our firm will ensure your application is completed thoroughly and submitted under the VA’s Fully Developed Claim (FDC) process, which minimizes delays. Most applications are processed within 4–6 months.

What happens if my application is denied?

If your application is denied for unjustifiable reasons, you can file an appeal with the VA. Although we do not handle VA appeals, you will not be charged any fees for our life care planning services.
