Attorneys may wonder: “Where is the VA pension market I have heard about from AVAPP”? The national Center for Veterans Analysis and Statistics break the numbers down not only by state but by county as well. (see below) There are roughly 800,000 WWII veterans alive, 1.7 million Korean veterans, 7.1 Vietnam veterans and 7.3 million Gulf War veterans. The pity is only 290,000 veterans are receiving VA Pension. Source: Department of Veteran Affairs.
