Veterans Pension Benefits: Preserve Independence

Maplewood at Newtown presents a free elder law seminar by Attorneys Thomas E. Murphy and Michele E. Murphy, RN, MSN of Danbury law firm Murphy & Murphy LLP on Monday, October 28, 2013

Join us to learn more about "Aid and Attendance" pension benefits up to $2,000/month enable veterans and surviving spouses to afford assisted living longer, and thereby delay or avoid nursing home admission. Over-asset and over-income veterans can qualify through:

  • Trusts to reduce excess assets 
  • Transfers of assets with no look-back period
  • Annuities to convert assets into income streams 
  • Deductions to reduce excess income 
Residents, families, and guests are welcome. Enjoy fine refreshments and learn how to put the law to work for you!

Please RSVP to by phone at 203-426-8118 or by email to newtownAD@maplewoodsl.com by Wednesday, October 23rd.
