The timing of your husband’s service may make you eligible for the VA Comprehensive Assistance for Family Caregivers Program; what is more commonly referred to as the Stipend Program. On the VA website, this link (http://www.caregiver.va.gov/support/support_benefits.asp) explains caregiver eligibility and provides the online application if the eligibility requirements are met. You may also call this number for information: 1-877-222-VETS (8387). By entering your zipcode at this link (http://www.caregiver.va.gov/help_landing.asp), the name and contact information for your local Caregiver Support Coordinator (CSC) will be available for local questions. Training is mandatory and a home visit, and the stipend level is determined by the severity of the veteran’s injuries/illness.
