Hello. Please tell me about the aid 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.
Great. Can you help me figure out if I qualify for the program?
Yes, we can help you find out if you qualify for the Program of Comprehensive Assistance for Family Caregivers and how to apply for it.
================
That'd be wonderful. So do I qualify for benefits through 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.
What are those requirements you're talking about?
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, he is fine.
Then I'm afraid that you aren't eligible for this program.
