A Development To Add To My Last Post

Last Friday, August 22nd, I wrote about the VA Aid and Attendance benefit, and mentioned that my uncle had been swindled by a financial advisor who said he would help my uncle apply for the benefit. Yesterday, I learned that the Illinois State's Attorney office will be pursuing my uncle's case and investigating this "financial advisor's" practices. Some oversight after the fact is much better than no oversight at all, but once again, if you're working with a third party organization to help you apply for this benefit, check them out carefully.
