I need information. Tell me about the program for family caregivers.
Are you a family member caring for a Veteran with disabilities?
Yes, I am.
In that case we want to support you. We recognize that family caregivers enhance the health and well-being of Veterans they care for in their home.
================
Can you just tell me if I qualify for benefits through your 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 both of the requirements.
What are those requirements?
Has the Veteran had 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. No, that is not the case.
Then I'm afraid you are not eligible for this program.
================
That's a bummer. Well, can't you make this program available for people like us?
We're working to give more family caregivers access to this program so we can support them as they care for Veterans of all eras. We're in the process of putting in place the technology we need to support this expanded access.
