How can our StaffLink’s  VeteransValourCARE Program assist you in applying and becoming eligible for the pension?

  • First, StaffLink will connect you to a reputable local claims consultant. They will have an initial conversation with you to determine the likelihood of your eligibility.
  • If you appear to be eligible, they will assist and instruct you with the application process.
  • Most importantly, if you appear to be eligible for the pension, they make you an interest-free loan to cover the “care in place” that is required in order to qualify for the pension.
  • If StaffLink is your home care agency of choice, we will start providing care immediately so you can demonstrate that you have “care in place” during the application process.
