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.

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