for assisted living or in home care benefit ? my health insurance is USFHP I have just started to check sites out and I am being told that I can only recieve one benefit [which is DIC] but I am hearing many confusing answers I will be 74 next month my husband was an E-7 plus 20 yrs in navy reserves...I would appreciate any info from the VA or person who has the latest updates. many thanks
My mom would have qualified but remarried a non veteran, who died this year, but unlike Social Security, she can't get benefits from my dads service because she married again. I've tried twice to sign her up. Last year I went to a seminar and the lawyers who do this for seniors seemed to be saying it didn't matter, but then after I got her into assisted living, which you have to do FIRST and then wait for 6-8 months for payments to start, I contacted the VA and they said she isn't eligible. What a disappointment! She cannot afford a really nice place to live because of this. Best of luck to you.
