Bad experience with the CHAMPVA hotline
This is the first time I have experienced this with the CHAMPVA hotline 1-800-733-8387 after calling dozens of times over the years. It is pretty typical to have somewhat lengthy wait times to speak with an agent. This time I must have drawn the short straw and spoke with a lady with a very heavy foreign accent. Although she gave her name at the beginning of the call, I could not understand it clearly due to her accent. During the call, she was very short and came off a bit mean. She conststantly interrupted me. I had to ask the same question several times because she would not listen to what I said. Eventually, my BP and anxiety level began to rise, so I kindly asked to …

Can a widow lose her CHAMPVA
I have a question, does a widow of a deceased 100% Agent Orange veteran lose her CHAMPVA when she turns 65-year-old? Since I am not familiar with this program, I told her that I would check it out. Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated. Any literature that will explain this next step or is there something wrong or off?

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. …
