Just want to underscore JJ BPK's comment about all service officers not being the same.
For anyone navigating the system- don't get hooked into some of the organizations that market helping veterans with things like benefits- namely off site clubs/organizations or home health companies. There have been a few that promise getting benefits and then "manage" the benefits so the veteran gets screwed. Absolutely shameless.
FWIW-
Quick overview:
Every veteran is entitled up to 6 hours per week of health aide (HHA) help.
Every veteran is entitled to 30 days respite (in home or inpatient)
NO FIGHT/APPLICATIONS NEEDED for those.
Application is necessary for Aid & Attendant, Agent Orange, Service Connection, and Non Service Connected Pension.
