Garbarino Helps Secure VA Benefits for Navy Veteran

A 95-year-old Sayville resident and Navy veteran recently contacted my office after applying for VA benefits in May 2022 and receiving no response for more than six months despite continual follow-ups. My casework team reached out to the VA and expedited the entitlement to a special monthly pension based on the need for aid and attendance, which will be back-paid from the effective date of the benefits last May.
