The Boston Bar Association is proud to offer this series of specialized
programs to those members of the legal community who have interest in providing
legal assistance to veterans, members of the military, and their families.
Attend as many or as few programs as your schedule will allow.
This panel will provide an introduction to the complex web of benefits and
services available to veterans, their families, and survivors. Topics to
be covered include VA service-connected disability benefits, VA pension, VA
survivor's benefits, VA healthcare, other VA-administered benefit programs, and
Massachusetts Veterans' Services Benefits. The interplay between VA
benefits and Social Security benefits will be addressed, as will the ways that
military discharge character of service can impact access to veterans' benefits
and services. The panel will also discuss advocacy strategies for
representing clients before agencies and in court.
