Yes there is a program of Comprehensive Assistance for family caregivers.
How would one go about applying for assistance?
VA would like to support you. We recognize that family caregivers enhance the health and well-being of Veterans they care for in their home. It is best for you to find out if you qualify for the Program of Comprehensive Assistance for Family Caregivers and how to apply.
What are the requirements for me to get this type of benefit?
You will qualify for the program based on your Veteran's qualifications. You may be eligible if the Veteran you are caring for meets both of the requirements list for benefits.
Could you please tell me what the requirements are?
Both of the requirements I am about to tell you must be true. The Veteran you are caring for must have a serious injury including traumatic brain injury, psychological trauma, or other mental disorder that was caused or made worse by their active - duty service on or after September 11 , 2001, and because they can't perform one or more activities of daily living and/or needs supervision or protection based on symptoms of lasting neurological damage or injury they need personal care services.
Both of the requirements are true in this case.
Is the Veteran unable to perform one or more activities of daily living and/or needs supervision or protection based on symptoms of lasting neurological damage or injury?
Yes he is unable to perform activities relating to daily living.
It seems that you will be able to receive benefits as explained.
Is the VA working towards making it possible for more family caregivers getting access to this program?
