At first, you need to know what kind of health care services for Veterans we can cover, and for that, you'll also need to know how the system works.
Umm, i guess knowing eases other things, huh?. Oh, well. I'll get into that later. Look, suppose i want to manage my benefits online, what could i find?
For example, you ca find how to refill and track your Veterans prescriptions, aside to do so online.
I have another benefit issue. That is fantastic. What advantages can you offer me as the primary caregiver?
You may receive caregiver education and training or a monthly stipend payment, for example.
Does it actually matter if I'm the primary caregiver? What is the difference between primary and secondary caregivers?
Your Veteran can appoint 1 primary main caregiver and up to 2 secondary caregivers people who serve as backup support to the primary caregiver when needed. Your benefits will depend on whether you re the primary caregiver or a secondary caregiver.
I get that. So do I qualify for the benefits of this program?
You'll qualify for this program based on your Veteran s qualifications. You may be eligible if the Veteran you're caring for meets the requirements.
Ok, what are those requirements?
Does the Veteran 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?
No, his injuries were caused before 2001.
