EVALUATION SERVICE AGREEMENT

Sexton & Associates provides the service of analyzing and evaluating a client’s eligibility for the Improved Pension and Aid and

Attendance benefit in providing for long-term care. The Client is desirous of retaining the services of Sexton & Associates, its

assistants or designees or associates as may be necessary, proper or appropriate in its evaluation. These no-cost services are provided

for clients who have been referred by our affiliated financial services professionals or at the discretion of Sexton & Associates.

These services include gathering the information from the client that is necessary to determine eligibility and applying that

information to the regulations that determine eligibility. An attorney that is accredited with the Department of Veterans Affairs and

familiar with Elder Law issues reviews and confirms each portion of the evaluation.

Following the evaluation in which the Client appears to be eligible for the Improved Pension and Aid and Attendance benefit, Sexton

& Associates will explain the Client’s options in a letter to the Client. If, in Sexton & Associates’ opinion, the Client is ineligible but

may become eligible by taking certain steps that are permitted under federal regulations, then Sexton & Associates will make

recommendations as to what the Client needs to do to become eligible in the future. If, however, in Sexton & Associates’ opinion, the

Client is ineligible and there are no certain steps to take to become eligible, then Sexton & Associates will explain the reasons for

ineligibility.

If, however, Sexton & Associates believes that a client is eligible for the Improved Pension and Aid and Attendance benefit, and the

client requests in writing that he or she wants to initiate the process to file a claim for said Improved Pension and Aid and Attendance

benefit, then Sexton & Associates will assist in applying for the Veteran’s Benefit at no cost to the client. The evaluation that Sexton

& Associates provides does not include applying for the benefits on behalf of the client. The application process is a separate,

independent service that is free and is done under the direct supervision of an accredited attorney.

Sexton & Associates is a private company and is not affiliated with the Department of Veterans’ Affairs, Department of Human

Services, or any Federal, State or Local Government agency. Sexton & Associates is not a law firm. Sexton & Associates’ evaluation

of eligibility does not guarantee that a client will be found to be eligible by any Government Agency, including the Department of

Human Services or the Department of Veterans Affairs.

I would like Sexton & Associates to evaluate my eligibility for the Improved Pension and Aid and Attendance benefit that could assist

me in providing for my long-term care.
