The National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (NAELA) has designated October as Special Needs Law Month. Individuals with disabilities require specialized legal care due to their reliance on government benefits for their medical care and other daily needs. Unfortunately, becoming eligible for government benefits can be a complex and daunting process. Even after eligibility has been successfully obtained, due to the changing and evolving guidelines for maintaining eligibility for benefits, legal assistance is often still required.
However, families with a loved one with special needs don’t have to figure out the government benefits system alone; they can enlist the aid of attorneys with expertise in special needs law to assist them. The designation of October as Special Needs Law Month helps to spread the word that there are knowledgeable legal professionals willing and able to help.
We hope you will join us this month in spreading awareness about Special Needs Law Month. Any increase in the understanding and awareness can only serve to enhance the lives of disabled individuals, and their families.
