5:26 Yes they do continuous re-evaluations and have wrongfully dismissed caregivers from the program for years. The congressional over site committee brought a lot of this to light. I hope they fix it
I’ve been keeping up with this program, and the over site hearings about it. It’s been a mess for the last several years but I sincerely hope it gets better as the new program director has promised the last couple of years. I’m several people who’ve been denied with horrible criteria (not following the actual regs) and issues getting approved, which is why I’ve not yet applied. Thank you for sharing this info! I truly hope the attention it’s getting makes it really help. We NEED this program!!!
Been denied 3 times already. Met all criteria but they keep denying on “ continued assistance for 6 months or longer “…. I’m 100% P&T with SMC S and SMC k. They totally dismiss my severe ptsd symptoms and only care about physical disability. I’m 100% on ptsd alone.
about 6 months ago a buddy of mine and his wife were denied the caregiver program because he does not require nursing home level care, and has SMC (S) already... i know none of that is a disqualifier but they used it to deny. now they are trying to figure out how they will fight it
GM Dewayne. My question is off topic. I discharged in 2003 and just filed a claim for conditions that were documented while I was active duty. The VA is requesting additional evidence. Should I submit all medical evidence after discharge until now, to show ongoing issues?
Can I claim my daughter as a dependent she is legally blind and she depends on us to take her shopping taking her to work and appointments pretty much everything. she does not live with us.
The VA considers a child to be helpless if they meet the following criteria: The child is the biological, adopted, stepchild, or supported child of a veteran The child became permanently incapable of self-support before age 18 due to a mental or physical disability The veteran is entitled to compensation and is rated as 30% or more disabled

I know vets that have went through this and have had a hard time. They don't make it easy.

8:48 There’s two tears, simple explanation is GS-5 pay
So does this trigger a review of all the veterans claims?

That could be a lot of paperwork but you will have to make that decision if you want to submit additional evidence.
@@DewayneKimble Thank you.

You can look at the M21-1 and see if she qualifies as a dependent. If she's under 18, and you are 30 percent, yes. If not, look at that criteria.
@@DewayneKimble she is 37 she was diagnosed at 2 years old
