Many times a simple conversation between you and a VA representative, whether or not your Primary Care or Mental Health staff could lead to having a Fiduciary assigned. Someone who manages your money for you. In married households it could be a simple answer of "nah, my wife/husband handles all the bills" or "he/she balances the checkbook, I get lost doing it." Be careful, while innocent enough, could be costly.
