The VA health care also cover spouse, survivor spouse, dependent child or family caregiver of any veteran or service member.
Alright, thanks. That's a good information. Just with be a veteran I can get access to the that health care?
That's right, you may qualify for health care benefits.
Regarding CHAMPVA benefits for me or a family member, what happens if I can access medicare A? do I qualify immediately for CHAMPVA?
Then you'll also need to enroll in Medicare Part B to be eligible for CHAMPVA.
Alright, that's good to know. Are there any other conditions I need to fulfill?
Yes. Are you the spouse or child of a Veteran who s been rated permanently and totally disabled for a service-connected disability by a VA regional benefit office?
Yes. You see, my husband stepped on a mine during a combat mission, which crippled him. He passed away a while later due to the injuries.
In that case you can get health care through CHAMPVA, but only if you don't qualify for TRICARE and you meet additional requirements.
That would be the case. Say, how long will I have to wait once I sent you all documents?
It'll take about 6 weeks after we get your package until you get your CHAMPVA ID card and related materials.
Do you have any more info about CHAMPVA?
