ChampVA time line for reimbursement
I submitted several requests, individually for medical bills and medication reimbursement to ChampVA over a month ago. I haven't heard anything back from them. Can anyone tell me how long does it usually take to hear back from them? I thought I would at least hear from them saying they received my requests. Thanks, T

Champa/Tricare
I was recently awarded 100% P&T, retro back to 2010. The packet/award letter was very vague as to what additional benefits I am enttitled to now except to say Chapter 35 benefits. My questions are is it Champa, or Tricare that I am eligible for for me, my wife and two daughters? Someone said that the Champa/Tricare would reimburse me for medical costs I have incurred going back to 2010....is this true? Because I have used a HSA with a family deductible over the years that is 5k...We pay out of pocket each year before anything is covered. How do I apply for Champa/Tricare? What other benefits am I entitled to and how do I apply for them. …

I'm 100%PT my wife is being medically retired from Army
So back story. I am 100%P&T, but my wife is being medically retired from Army, and we have 2children under 18 and one 18yr old living at home going to school. I am curious how the coverage works. During her out-processing they said she has to make a choice in which Tricare she is going to go with. Do we not have a choice between Champva vs Tricare? Thank you for the help. I did read the FAQ but wasn't sure if rules have changed with any of the latest changes passed by congress.
