Short Version
Many veterans qualify but don't apply.
Veterans often believe they don't qualify because they have been told by an untrained representative or misinformed person that their current income or their assets are too high to be approved for VA benefits. Often, this isn’t true. This is why it is important to work with an advisor, who understands the proper income/asset ratio in order to qualify for this veteran’s benefit
