VA PENSIONS

Veterans have selflessly served our nation, and it is our honor to help them secure the benefits they deserve in their later years. At Obsidian Ridge Law, we assist veterans and their families with VA pension claims, providing clarity, compassion, and trusted guidance. With the right support, the process becomes far less daunting and ensures you receive the financial security you’ve earned.

WHAT IS A VA PENSION?

A VA Pension is a monthly financial benefit for wartime veterans who meet age or disability requirements and whose income and assets fall within VA limits. It’s designed as a safety net, providing financial stability and peace of mind for veterans and their families.
