I'd like to thank the WW vets and the Vietnam Vets....they caught hell trying to get benefits that many later generation Vets enjoy.
Left service in '71 and it tock till 2003 to get any sort of disability rating and when I did they only went back so far and not the entire time.
@@oldcoot8910oh wow, that is far too long. Did you apply in 1971 and they just ignore your application for 3 decades, or did they just keep denying you benefits? I'm sorry it took so long.
Im a Viet Nam era vet who was levied to Viet Nam with my Twin Brother, the orders were cancelled do to the winding down of the war 1970-71 or the act that keeps their families from losing the blood line, the Sullivan act may have been used, i'm not sure. I filed for compensation 20 years ago do to injuries that have become worse, i was exposed to alot of Chemicals to burn fecies, and Aspestice as a break tech on tanks and othe vehical, also because i was sent to a camp with out my brother, that made us burn out house crap and fight with BBGun rifles gassed us also this was a test camp that is not in my record, also my injuries to my shoulder and elbo, knee lungs, my painful Arthritis through out my body, and hands are not on record, i was sent back to the Unit i was in with my brother, today at 75 years old there is no record of my military injuries or the TDY at Camp Eagle.I filed for the pact act but have a letter that denies my claim, the reason they say is no record of me at any camp, or basic training injuries, the camp was on the Sac And Fox Reservation in Oklahoma my brother and i are an American Indian, Apache, we where with the 226 maintanence company in the 3rd artillery unit, ive now have only a social security income because when i filed for my right knee injuriy in basic training i receive a pension instead of a military related injury, i fell of an obstical course platform and injured my right knee and ankle i also sustained a head injury, i had that pension for 20 years and when i received my social security at 70 it was taken away from me after 5 years of having SS, it took 5 years to let me know, because they say i made to much money, ive been told it was fraud and that i owed the VA $66400, every day i received threatening letters from the VA, threatening to take my Social Secuity and my disabled 70 year old wifes Social Securiy, it been 5 years since they said i was cheating the VA out of money i didnt earn, now i get a letter telling me that the machine that sends out letters was broken and that they are sorry if this was an inconvinience to us, well the fact is we've not only stressed out about cutting our lively hood in half but losing every thing, i dont have my pension and we no longer have a home or vehical or our savings, we are dependant on our children and brother, why is there no records, ive been denied every thing, i didn't go to Viet Nam but i was willing to, it seems that not going to a war zone puts me below other service members who did, its like being cast as a no body in the VA. That the experiance of being thanked for your service is fake Really?? I give up! my wife has never been taken care of by the VA. I love this Country, there is none better, i would give all to protect it, its the burucrats that i cant stand, the VA is like Congress, there is a ton more ive been through with the VA, they lie they are sneaky and they are useless!
i served 98 to 02 to include 99 to 02 on airborne status and 16jumps, i got denied, with a lot of 0% ratings. took 13yrs then i got 70% then another 7yrs to get to 100% p and t
🫡Yes I thank them also! They unnecessarily had to fight for what they EARNED!
I am the daughter of a vet. Took a loooooong while to find my dad. When i did find him, he was in a nursing facility drugged up so badly that he couldn’t even speak. It was a process to get guidance to be a legal advocate for him. Got him a doctor through the VA. It took 2 months to get him winged off of the wrong & unnecessary meds. I didn’t know diddly about the VA SYSTEM. I went to a family caregiver for veterans seminar. He was sitting at 20% VA benefits. I contacted the D.A.V in D.C. We moved my dad in with us until he felt he was ready to live on his own. It took 5 months to get him to 100%. I truly believe the majority of our precious veterans need help navigating the VA exclusively for each one of our veterans. ITS A FREAKING BEAST!
It won't change - it's too bureaucratic and political. Plus the docs are the rock bottom doctors when compared to civilian physicians - at least in the New England region.
I'm in the same position and can't get help for my dad or myself. I have no clue where to start, I live with my father so I take care of his needs but getting ChampVA for myself after my mom passed has been a savage mind bleep. I just need some help getting paperwork started he's old and is afraid I won't get his benefits because I have some of his ailments and he isn't getting his Agent Orange pay that he deserves because he was sprayed directly covered in that dust. It's very hard to keep up with him and not have my own health under control. 😢
I'm so glad you got your dad together for the most part imagine how many of them don't have a child to care about their outcome. Kudos to you (Momma bear to your parent) ❤.
hello what conditions did you add to his to get 100%
@@donlazarius9876
That's a good question because one of the Vets I spoke to said it's hell getting 70% my dad barely got 80% damn near bed ridden almost at the end gets 100% even with regular Social Security Disability. Sad but true. I hope you get your answer though and everything works out. 🇺🇸
@@tb8810 WORK with retired VETERANS THAT WORK FOR THE D.A.V. He was evaluated by 2 separate doctors… psychiatrist & medical of the VA’s choosing. Mindfulness that there are 2 separate ratings… one you’re 100% for life & the other 100% with annual medical reevaluation. He was effected by agent orange as well.

I'm so happy I made productive decisions about my finances that changed my life forever,hoping to retire next year.. Investment should always be on any creative man's heart for success in life
You're correct!! I make a lot of money without relying on the government. Investing in stocks and digital currencies is beneficial at this moment
Thanks for the advice! I'm new to financial planning and wasn't sure where to start. Any tips on finding a reliable financial adviser or resource to guide beginners?
As a beginner, it's essential for you to have a mentor that is verified by finra and SEC to keep you accountable. I'm guided by a widely known financial consultant Stacey Macken
Stacey demonstrates an excellent understanding of market trends, making well informed decisions that leads to consistent profit
I remember giving her my first savings $20000 and she opened a brokerage account for me it turned out to be the best thing that ever happened to me.
It would be great if this was an article on the website in addition to (or instead of) a video. A quick list is helpful instead of having to watch a video.
Agree. I’d like to read it instead of watching it
Having it all in an article would be nice, but I'm definitely grateful that these guys get straight to the point and don't take forever. It's a nice quick video. Check the videos description and you might find the info in writing. I've not looked yet.
Ok, the description is very helpful. It has all of the benefits they spoke of and links to learn more about each.
In school I was told that a fast reading rate was important. Now I take lessons which require me to spend 10 minutes on a page. I have to zip thru videos to get thru the BS. Nothing I like better than a written document.
@@lautaroaguilar9584 This information is on VA.gov, you can put what you are looking for in the search bar at the top of the screen also
Thanks, gentleman, for laying it out without any hoopla. Straight and to the point. We'll done!
Salutations from Connecticut thanks for the outreach 🇺🇸👍
Thanks for the information. I always enjoy your videos and learn new tidbits each time I watch.
Great information as always. Thanks for sharing!
Excellent information as usual. I appreciate you sharing.
Veteran here, living in NC with my special needs young adult kids. Thank you so much for all the info. God bless. 😌🌹🙏🏽
Thanks for all the good info. Appreciated.
Thank you for all the information.❤️👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼🇺🇸
Thanks for all your hard work boys!
Very informative but the VA is still painfully slow so you MAY get benefits but it may take over 2 1/2 years with no resolution. So be prepared for a LONG LONG LONG wait.
va is huge, 2nd biggest department, first is DoD. the vamc is the hospital or out clinics and the vba is the subdepartment that handles va compensation and pension.. i have been to 2 vamc's including inpatient services, philadelphia, pa and houston, tx, i got great service and respected at both vamcs. getting money out of the vba is tough, when i tell people i am a 100% p and t, other vets first question is how did you do it, i said i used a vso, they are like whats that???? i tell the vets american legion, vfw, dav, etc etc....i get told they have bars, i am like ask the chapter president to point you to the vso...yeah it took a while to get to that 100% p and t but i am getting it and i was 70% and the legion told me they were putting me in for total disability individual unemployabilty/tdiu which was paying me the 100% rate until i got to 100% p and t....so there are programs like tdiu and others that can help that vsos stay up on
THANKS TO ALL WHO CONTRIBUTED TO THIS VALUABLE INFORMATION!!!
Thank you for your service. You have explained this very well.
The video was meant to provide general information. For more specific information about your personal situation, contact the VA by phone for a personal consult . I’m 100% disabled. I think the VA is a great program, and I’m thankful for the benefits I’m receiving.
Apparently, you are not going to the same VA I am going to. All I hear is they are short on staff and when I do show up for an appointment, I am told they are running either late or really late.
Dude, you’re getting free healthcare, what you complaining about 😂if you pay, guess what? You’re still going to wait in line. Ya’ll want the VA to be perfect, ridiculous.
@@467076 #1, I'm not a dude. #2 Healthcare is only good if it is proactive health care instead of the reactive healthcare at our local VA. My PCP says I only need two visits a year with him. IF I try to see my PCP in between the six-month appointments, I am told to use Urgent Care. Free Healthcare? I didn't volunteer to be sprayed with Agent Orange or have it in my drinking water and water I bathed with.
@@SpookyEN211 benefits is different from the hospital… totally different “companies” kinda like Army VS Marines… both VA, but different branches.
Agreed... My experience with VA healthcare in the Los Angeles VA Healthcare System since 2010 has been quite good, although I am on my 4th primary care doctor and there have been multiple RNs. The staff is helpful and professional. No serious complaints at all.
Thank you for your excellent programs and caring for fellow veterans.
Excellent? They never told you anything that is guaranteed, or that YOU HAVE TO DO THE WORK, THE MILITARY DOESNT A DAMN THING FOR YOU.
OMG I just stumbled upon you this is the most awesome information thank you thank you
I am learning so much
Thanks for the update 🤠.
Thank you for sharing
I appreciate all the details you provided. 🏧🇸
The operative word...CERTAIN. I'm a veteran and that word "certain in everything they say" really gets me.
certain or MAY or POSSIBLY or AS OF RIGHT NOW or any other uncommittable word we can think of. I think that's a large reason this is confusing too. VA has been overall good to me, have had hiccups, but have had hiccups with private care too. No doubt about it, you will have to spend time in the weeds to find out info about each and every benefit in the VA system. happy these guys are around, they give you a little so you at least can know what MAY be out there.
New subscriber here. My late husband was *USMC* (Vietnam) and I would like to know more....thanks much for passing this on. Semper Fidelis!
Thanks guys.
Thank you
I am the surviving spouse of a WWII war veteran; he passed away almost two years ago and I never had received any pension from the VA . He was 100% disabled
GOOD JOBON INFORMING VETERANS!
Thank you for the info. Here in Central Florida depending on who you call you can get differing info. I've been told as a child of a DAV from Nam, that I was not eligible but by a woman who worked at VA but a few members and workers said I was definitely eligible. So I could really use some help finding out what to do because my mom passed and my dad is sick and elderly but I have some of his ailments and my doctors don't know where to begin to help me. My dad is only 80% does that have anything to do with it because he's trying to get whatever help for me he can, but we don't know where to start we keep getting turned to other means just spinning our wheels going nowhere. Thanks again.
Wonderful information to know! I am trying to research benefits for my mother-in-law after my FIL passed. This is a great help.

Thank you for your service!
Thank you..
Good information thanks guys
Thank you ❤

What You Don't Know Can Leave You Helpless
DIC is only for non-remarried spouses at the moment (2024). If widows/widowers remarry, widows/widower lose everything-SBP, DIC, and Tricare.
And divorce
If the spouse remarries after the veteran dies, they can remain eligible for DIC if the date of remarriage is on or after Dec. 16, 2003, and they are at least 55. (Effective Jan. 5, 2021)
@@terrymurphy7790 no court will touch va c and p, nor will the irs....ssdi or ssr is another story
You have to have a 100% rating for some of these.
They say that…
Which is what they mean when they talk about "permanent & total" disability
@@GordyThomaswell, you can be T&P and not 100%. Just so you know.
Excellent!
I like this service
Happy to see the VA push solid information over RUclips. Keep it up.
Hi Guys, great info, but you should have been more specific on surviving spouses for home loan guaranty benefits. These benefits can pass on as long as the Veteran died while in service, from a service-connected disability, or if the Veteran was receiving 100% SC benefits for certain periods of time. You did say they may be eligible but there is a lot of misinformation going around about this particular benefit due to the lack of detail when spouses see just a basic info story like this.
Ty😊
Thanks
Thanks for the valuable info.
By the way, it’s vet·er·an, not ve-tran. It’s a three-syllable word.
Great information
ut thanks for the outreach 🇺🇸
If you are the spouse of a retired veteran (with 100% connection), the DEA offering for spouses will expire 20 years after the start of the veteran's retirement.
what is dea??? is that receipt of va and military retirement??? bush jr changed the law...i know bush jr changed the law about collecting va and ssdi
Maybe, depends on the veterans priority group
Along with DEA aka Chapter 35, a surviving spouse or dependent may qualify for the Fry Scholarship if the veteran died in the line of duty. The Fry Scholarship is basically the Post 911 aka Chapter 33.
Health care benefits, from the VA, did not last long. After a certian amount of time, I was not allowed to go to the VA for health care. However I do have a ChampVa medical card that helps me with the cost of my medical care with my local doctors. It helps me a lot.
why, what happened?
Thank you for the updated information. Do you have information on the Gold Plate for spouses something about a tax free income?
Thanks for the info.
As a non-disabled veteran who served for 5 years of active duty it is frustrating to click on a link from the VA proclaiming a “benefit for veterans” only to see/hear/read it “may be” for “certain”, “eligible”, “qualifying” veterans.
Are there benefits for non-disabled, non-wartime veterans who served their country and were honorably discharged? If so could you please give us a place to access, or at least learn about, said benefits without having to guess which ones we qualify for?
Thank you again for the information!! Have super day!!
The VA home loan guarantee and burial in a veteran cemetery are the only ones that apply to me. Non-disabled non wartime vet, 6 years service.
@@isherwoodmesame for me. I get nothing else per my VA rep.
@@melindamorgan4879 then u need a vso, va rep carries the vba line. a vso such as american legion vfw dav etc etc go to a local chapter, they might have an in house rep or recommend u to a regional office, also appeal to you get to a bva
Retired Veteran here 80% Disabled fighting for my 100% rating after 7 years now!
Do you have an Attorney yet? An Attorney that represents Veterans and fights for them is helpful in achieving the last push to 100%. I am not an Attorney, but know having an Attorney is a must once you get 60- 70%. Best wishes.
I've heard the DAV will be an advocate for you.
Retired Vietnam vet. Exposed to agent orange resulting in multiple melanoma, but held in check... so far! Have 90%, rating and have been trying for years to get to 100%, but it seems impossible. I also have service connected congestive heart failure and even that didn't add up to very much. Yet I know someone who has sleep apnea and he gets 100% and wasn't even in any wars from Iraq, Afghanistan, or anything else. Probably too late for me to even keep on trying, but I applied once more under the Pact Act, but haven't heard back yet. If this doesn't get me to 100% would someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong? I don't know the "magic" words and I don't want to pay someone thousands of dollars for something I think I can show from my records which speak for themselves.
The DAV helped to a curtain point , I was rated 60% on a combined rating table! It took 12 years to get to 100% but I needed an attorney to get it done
I recommend looking into VetLink Solutions. They are a Veteran owned company based in Arizona
I had no idea my spouse is eligible for health care. Regarding tricare, what about tricare retired reserves - the family cost is currently 1406.22 per month!
I've been going through HELL since my husband passed away last year. Even had treasury employee steal my checks. Only gotten one back. Fighting for the second. ONE YEAR!!! Had to send in survivor pension paperwork in 3 times before they recorded it. Didn't record my intent to file which I'm sure will be another fight. Luckily I have an email of forms they sent me. These agencies make it so hard so you'll give up. I can't afford to.
Look for a local veteran center near you. The DAV is outstanding and may be able to advocate for you. There are other veteran advocacy groups out there. DAV is the one I've used.
Contact your state's congressional representative and file a congressional inquiry into why you are not being properly assisted. They cut thru all the red tape and you will receive immediate assistance.
Thanks for all the information and updates. I'd like to know if Champ VA offers a "Silver Sneakers" program like some of the Medicare Advantage plans to? Thank you!
Thanks for the video and not really related but I'd love a video on 'priority groups' and how they really work. Not so much what costs the veteran is responsible for but do priority groups influence how soon / far out appointments are scheduled, types of cares received (or approved), etc?
Also does having a primary & private insurance factor in any of the above?
For example, say I was 50/50 needing surgery for an injury vs just PT. Would being a higher (err...lower) priority group mean I was more likely to get approved for surgery? Would having private insurance potentially paying for a lot of surgery also factor into that decision from the VA?
*Speaking purely in hypotheticals and not expecting an answer in the comments section.*
I wish i was eligible for champ. That's a huge benefit. Your kid can ben 80 yrs old and have medical.
All I can say is I have been left in the cold my husband and I were married for 30 years and I have never remarried I'm only getting social security and not so easy to make ends meet when I was told I was to receive my husband's pension
And in florida 100% or total and permanent veterans spouse do not pay property taxes even when veteran dies.
Combat-related vets also. Does not have to be permanent. Contact your County Tax Assessor's Office.
make sure the living spouse has to stay unmarried, cause in most state the living spouce cannot remarry
The use of of the phrase 'other factors' and certain period of time seemed to avoid crucial terms related to these benefits.
"Certain members may be" - is pretty vague. Some depth on those subject would help.
contact a VSO Veterans Service Officer
It's a RUclips video. You have to go to service rep or civilian attorney. It gets tricky, and they don't want to get somebody's hopes up too high.
@@thomasshoener2154 Never use a civilian attorney! contact a VSO -Veteran Service Officer!
Do your due diligence. They gave you the basic guidance, now time to look deeper into it if you're interested in it.
I get DIC but because my husband died before the PACT Act, I cannot get the property tax exemption in Texas because the VA says his disability rating is 0% even though they state he was "totally and permanently disabled" AND "died of a service related condition."
You have both Mike and me. If Mike wasn’t there, you would say you have me, not you have I.
I have so many questions.
What forms are needed for federal student lian forgiveness? Will it apply to my daughters lians that i signed for?
How do I take back my request for a VA claim for VA compensation??
Is there a form I fill out or do I just write a letter to the VA administration requesting that they withdraw my claim for VA compensation benefits ??
Where are the text and Braille versions for hearing and/or visually impaired?
What happens when 80k for the GI Bill was on the original service contract but not given due to an unknown problem?
I would like to see dependent college funds be directed to the survivor of any disability rating to continue payments after the veteran dies.
Folds of Honor. Check into that program.
I agree. If we can give 2 Billion extra to Ukraine. And bail college students debt they made to live it up.. Then some of that money should go to support Veterans and their families even after the Veteran dies. Biden administration do something for Veterans. Treat them like you owe a debt. Treat them like they are Ukraine at war.
What if the veteran died but was still in the reserves after being discharged from regular service are his children still intited to services
Great subject. I’m 100% and permanent . When I die what is the monthly spouse benefit, if any? Just my wife a couple years younger. How do I calculate?
It depends on when you die since the benefit will change with cost of living. You can get more info: www.va.gov/disability/survivor-dic-rates/
a dic application is only good as the person who writes it up, what does your vso say
#7 Benefit is almost never heard of. If an unmarried Vietnam Veteran with adult children dies with claims pending, his children can be substituted for the accrued benefits.
Called substitute of claimant. Must be an eligible surviving dependent, though.
Great information but we need more information. I am a 100% disabled veteran with unemploy-ability. I have a 60% and 40% disability ratings adding up to 78% but with unemployability I am at 100%. Due to vaccinations I suffer from CFS and FMS directly related to my Service. I served on active duty several times but most of my Service was with the
GA Air National Guard. Because I suffer with both these illnesses due to my Services I probably won't die from these illnesses but because of the attack on my immune system they will be related somehow to my passing that my wife and 8 year old son with get DIC. How do I find out and am I eligible for burial in a Military Cemetery?
What about the VA compensation? Does any of that go to the survivors?
Where can I find this information written so I can understand it? I have a service connected condition that makes it difficult to understand the information in this format. I need a transcript, or something.
How long must you be 100 P&T in order for spouse to receive DIC IF YOU DIE BUT IT NOT SERVICES CONNECTED
Thanks for the information. Too bad they don’t allow out spouses to keep our compensation when we pass. These aren’t the greatest benefits.
Right…it’s just never enough for people like you
These benefits are for you not your significant other.
I Absolutely agree family should retain my pension I should have a six figure job instead of being totally and permanently disabled worrying for my young children’s future
@@scottanthony2429that’s what life insurance is for.
@@scottanthony2429 I'd look more into it because I believe that if you're 100%, permanent and total, it does pass on to your spouse upon your death.
Do dependents of 100% total disability veterans get their tuition paid for as well as the stipend each month? I’ve had a hard time finding that info on the VA website.
My ungle is 24 hr care having hard time getting smc r1t
what does his vso say
What is the "certain period of time" that I need to have been 100% disabled before my husband can receive DIC if I die?
Like to know how to get that increase from 90 to 100%. It's been hell dealing with the VA
Where can I find the SBP regulation? SBP Surviving children of someone that paid into SBP, will get 55%, but only if they are under 18. Once they are 18 they no longer get this….. unless the child has a disability. Is this true?
my husband is a Vet from Korea, he is 88 years old, during basic training he lost hearing in his left ear and constant ringing in the ears. He is receiving some compensation for his hearing loss . Would I be eligible for that after he passes?
There is also the caregiver benefit for when your spouse takes care of you. He/she gets a “salary”
I read that benefit was no longer available to the Spouse. It has to be A caregiver that doesn't live with you.. I find that to be unreal and sad. A majority of caregivers are spouses..
I had to quit my job to care for my spouse. Applied for caregiver benefits, however denied because he wasn't 90% bedden.
@@lbplease what does the vso say
@@terrymurphy7790 same question, what does the vso say
The benefits are for direct dependants,such as,child,wife,husband. Some one who does'nt belong as direct dependants,for example,a sister or brother,or care giver,can use those benefits?
My husband passed away in 2013. How can l apply for benefit for home loan?
"You have Mike & I" The verb is "have", have takes an object ==> "You have Mike & me"
I am a sister of a Vet will I be able too receive the DIC since am a survivor?
How long before eligibility for DIC in years from receiving the 100% P&T? That was no answered
If the 100% P&T was awarded coming off of active duty during the first round of evaluations, then 5 years. Anytime after that, 10 years. Don't ask me why.
check in with a vso
I have a question: My husband is a veteran and we have lived in Germany for 50 years as missionaries. We hope to get back to USA sometime. If one of us should die in Germany would it be possible for Veterans help in transportation back to USA and burial in USA - My father is buried in Veterans Cemetery in Florida. That would be our preference for burial??? Just wondering. Also, if we move back to USA - could we get help if we buy a small house??? We have very small Pension - hardly anything and own no home either in Germany or USA???
From what I know, there should be no problem with your burial request as long as you let the VA know where you want to be buried. Obviously, being buried at a Veterans Cemetery would be free; though I'm not sure how much it cost for a private or public cemetery burial.
As for getting a home: the VA has been pushing their low-interest home loans for about five years, and with the current homelessness crisis in the USA, it's trying to do everything it can to get Veterans into affordable housing.

Hearing impaired need transcript, I can’t follow all of it, even with streaming to my hearing aids.
if you were on an Android device, just gently tap on the screen and you should see the CC (closed captions) setting appear along the top right edge of the screen. just tap on it once and closed captions will appear
A transcript is available. Click on the title or description, scroll down past Chapters, then select Transcript.
Any good lawyers in Florida who can fight the VA to help Veterans get their claims approved! Thanks

I was in college for a few weeks returning from Vietnam. The lady in the main office of Palm
Beach Jr. College call 5 veterans to the office and told us '"The VA is not paying for our education anymore. Get the hell off my campus!"
She was a bum!
