Whether it’s understanding legal requirements, estate planning or financial management, primary family caregivers can rely on the expertise of these professionals to navigate complex legal and financial concerns.

New web-based educational tool

    How do I get in the CSP for my wife being 100% disabled veteran?

    No thanks I will stick with own attorney, I don’t have much faith in anything the VA creates, because they only have enough of their limited scarce programs to serve so few veterans, your programs are ridiculously low budget ones.

    If support of V.A. is a given, I don’t see no support but $$165 @ mo. And don’t go far. My wife is my caretaker and she’s 74 and not in good health , due to doing V.A. job. I am a amputee in a roller wheelchair and she’s been unable to lift into my Old 2002 Tahoe, God help us if the truck goes out. Ge

    Is this like those legal services plans which gained popularity some years back where you pay a certain amount each month to have access to attorney services?

    How do I get into the CSP I’m a disabled vet

  10. Robert Primeaux October 13, 2023 at 06:26

    Official VA Caregivers should receive health care from VA medical facilities and private medical facilities paid for by the VA. ChampVA does not pay for eye-care, dental care and daily health care services. As the Veteran with my wife as my VA official Caregiver it is very expensive on me and my VA fixed disability monthly income. My request here has to be approved and implemented as soon as possible.
