What Is The Veteran Population In Florida?

Veterans2

According to the United States Census Bureau, there were just 18 million veterans in the adult population throughout the United States in 2018. This represents a steep decline from over 26 million during the time period of 2000 through 2018. The number of veterans that resided in the country in 2018 made up 7% of the total population of adults.

The age of veterans in 2018 that were counted ranged from 18 to 100 years old. These veterans made up a population that served in the Korean War, Vietnam War, and all the way through to the Iraq War. Veterans who have put on the uniform with honor and bravely fought deserve the utmost respect when they come back home. As such, they should be well taken care of. When thinking about the future, it is possible that a veteran could be entitled to various benefits from the Veterans Affairs Administration. One could be a monthly allowance known as Aid and Attendance.

If you are a veteran in Florida and would like to know if you are eligible for Aid and Attendance and want to see how that can be included in your estate plan, then The Villages, Florida Aid and Attendance attorneys at Millhorn Elder Law Planning Group are here for you and can evaluate your situation. Should you qualify, your attorney at Millhorn Elder Law Planning Group can help you reduce the time it takes to be successful and obtain the benefit you both need and deserve.
