Has anyone ever applied and been accepted for the VA Caregivers Program? What does it entitle and what rights am I giving up?

I applied and got the Caregiver funds. A woman from the VA to interviewed my wife and I. They asked questions as to why I needed help. The less you can do or the more you are hurt means more funds.

The precept of the Care Giver programs is how much help the veteran needs. The VA should be able to provide a phone number to contact the Care Givers. Then they will interview you at your home to see what the situation is.

The VA Caregiver Support Program is in the process of restructuring. Take what you get from the comments with a grain of salt, please. I’m not saying anyone is wrong, they just may not be correct when you go to apply for services. Your best bet is to go to your local VA Medical Center and speak with the Caregiver Support Coordinator in person. Every VA Medical Center should have at least one on staff. Start in the Transition and Care Management Program suite (used to be called OIF/OEF program).
