dsgsr Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Rec.'ed the brown envelope today, approved for ED. It also tells me I am eligible for the life insurance, which I will apply for this time around. It doesn't say anything about chapter 35 benefits for spouse, I am 100% P&T from 1999. Wouldn't a new rating open all that up again? My wife and my son didn't use any of those benefits before. What other benefits might I be eligible for that the VA isn't telling me about, if any? Thank you for any Info. David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chr49 Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 David, Congratulations on your latest approval. I don't know anything about Chapter 35 benefits so I'll leave that to others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for any Info. David If you have been 100 % P&T since 1999 - that should be when your allowance for Chapter 35 benefits would have gone into effect. I think there is 10 years from that date for your dependents to utilize this benefit. There are some situations where the dates can be changed somehow, I believe it deals with date of entitlement or marriage/ age of dependent child, etc.... You'r 10 year period may have expired. I hope other's will chime in as this is not an area of benefits I spend much time on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
