VETERAN'S CAREGIVER PROGRAM: PCAFC Site. Veteran has to have at least 70% to 100%. Started this October, 2020. Was to be opened later, but, someone decided to expand this to the year-1975 and earlier. My husband was in 1956-1957. 82 now. I'm 68 and still able to care for him. It starts with a PHONE call, after you fill out a small bit of Info on that site. They then get ahold of you! Ask a variety of question's, only to call you again, with question's, of you and your spouse. Caregiver can be Related, Spouse, that I know of so far. ONE caregiver(primary), is assigned, and if approved! Depends too, how much of a disabled person your caring for, like some limitations on that person, would have less hours given or FULL ON LIMITATIONS, where you do it all for that Veteran. If approved, they give you "Hours", that gives you your STIPHEND/PAY. Plus many other helpful resources for the family/veteran. For the Homemaker, another Program, help for them, getting a break! Hospice help too, at end of life care. So much to mention here.

So my question is, what if your divorced? My child lives with me in a different state and I claim her on my taxes. Is she still eligible for benefits? Her dad gets 85% from the VA for ptsd. Does anyone know?

@randywiley2593 3 жыл бұрын

No such thing as 85 percent no such rating so you are either Lying or dad it’s only in tens 10, 20, 30, ….. you get it on to 100

@keylamorris4334 2 жыл бұрын

Obviously that doesn’t answer what I was asking. 85% is what I was told by the father. He is not honest about things majority of the time, which is why I’m asking questions to someone who may know. I would like to know if my daughter, who will be 18 later this year is eligible for any benefits since her father is receiving benefits for PTSD for years now. He has paid nothing other than his child support every month since she was 5, and that amount has been the same since then. Anyone know any information?

Hello I have a question I'm New to your channel my father passed in 2013 he was 100%Airforce Vet, as well as the National Guard and he has a Pension that was left to my mother which she has not even been able to receive because they were not married at the time my question is is there anything that we can do to receive his Death Pension

@evilload 3 жыл бұрын

Death pension? Do you mean Survivors Pension? If they were not married then the only way around that would be common-law marriage (bunch of stipulations with that). If you mean military retirement with SBP election, you can't elect SBP if you are not married (this has nothing to do with the VA).

@jshauntah Жыл бұрын

I just made it to 100% total and permanent last November. I was told by the va that since both my kids are using ch. 35 education benefits that I am no longer eligible for the dependency compensation for kids 18 and older in school full time. As a matter of fact they removed them as dependents on my compensation and claimed I had a debt for over payment. On the paychart it has a spot for 100% with children then a spot for each child 18 and over in school. Is anyone else still being paid extra at 100% with college kids I can't find any information on this issue.

@patriciakohler7161 Жыл бұрын

They told me the same thing, then when I refiled it they changed it again....so im confused on the matter. I was remarried and it had me go through each dependant whether I recieved compensation or not, I put in the right info and I now recieve compensation again. I pray they didn't screw up and give it to where in the future I'll owe more money lol

@jshauntah Жыл бұрын

@@patriciakohler7161 Yes, it very confusing. Why have a compensation benefit amount for kids in college if they know they will be using chapter 35. Not only that why is their no information on the paychart stating that the veteran no longer rates the dependency pay if your child begins to use chapter 35 benefits? I'm currently working with congress on an appeal issue I have so I will be asking them about this issue as well and I will definitely post my response.

@godschosen7903 3 жыл бұрын

YES! We need "layman's Info"! With as much that is spoken to you, when applying for benefits, or just asking question's. And, we can't think of them all, it comes in increments, trial and error, not being told simply. Long timer's, sort like me, I schooled myself a lot, read and read. Or, was lucky enough to talk to the caring people I encountered at times. Anyway, I'm compelled to spread the word, when time allows! Good luck all you fellow Veteran's. If I can answer some of the MUK and MIRE of it all, I will try. Don't know if I just that spelled it right.

Couple years back he got my child support cut because my son gets a portion of VA ssi benefits from his dad and a portion of ssi itself. And my ex told me hes claiming my son as a dependent and getting his money but doesn't tell me how much and doesn't give it to my son. Problem is every other month ive got ssi breathing down my neck saying my son is getting that money when he isn't and now they are cutting me off because of it and i have to prove my son doesn't get the benefits my ex is getting. Any any time i file with the VA for the help my ex pulls some bs and claims financial hardship. Last time he did that i got denied then he went and took his daughter from another relationship on a road trip to disney world. I'm beyond upset at this point. And im tired of the stress of it.
