Perhaps one of the most neglected areas of assisting veterans and their dependents is in helping them prepare for emergencies that can arise in almost every family situation, referring to military discharge records and other essential documents and information needed when applying for benefits before and after the death of the veteran. All veterans should take the time to sit down and discuss with their spouse and family the benefits that they may be entitled to from the Veteran Affairs (VA) before the veterans' death.
By assembling these documents and discussing them now, the veteran will save his or her family and loved ones from an unnecessary burden at a time of emotional stress.
