I found this information that may be of interest to you
A veterans benefits consultant is an individual who helps veterans understand long term care benefits available through VA. This can include information on veterans health care, state veterans homes and veterans disability income benefits. Consultants place particular emphasis on Pension and Death Pension because these benefits are typically more useful for the elderly needing long term care. Pension is also known as "the aid and attendance benefit."
Consultants provide information about the aid and attendance benefit including what it is, who can qualify and what information and documentation are necessary in order to file a claim.
A consultant does not participate in any way in the application process unless that consultant is an attorney representing his or her client in proceedings before VA. Consultants on this page who are accredited veterans service organization representatives can also assist claimants with the filing of a claim.
For all other consultants, veteran households seeking help with filing a claim are directed to an appropriate veterans service organization or to a state or county veteran service representative or, where appropriate, they are encouraged to file a claim on their own.
There are some Veterans Benefits Consultant listed on the web page of the National Care Planning Council web site
