Don't ever give up! Get an attorney. I am in the middle of a CDR(Continuing Disability Revue), so I have to jump through all of the hoops again. They do these every few years I guess to make sure your still disabled.....My VA Doctor was nice enough to write in my records that I am still unable to work due to multiple medical problems, so we'll see if that flies for the Social Security Office. If not, I have already called my old attorney from when I originally filed. It's an ongoing battle my friend so hang in there!!
Dependant School Benefits In Place Of Child Support
in VA Disability Claims Research
Posted
My daughter recently graduated high school and was moving out of her mothers house. Her mom and I are divorced and I have been paying child support and am current. Since I am 100 percent, my daughter is eligible for free tuition in our state and the VA benefit of over 900 dollars per month as a stipend to live off of. My attorney presented this to the judge and figured that the free tuition plus the stipend came to over 2000 dollars per month that my daughter was receiving in cash and benefits. That versus the 400 bucks per month that my ex wife was getting and not sharing with my daughter. The judge thought it was very well presented and as long as my daughter was in school, then the VA benefits would be used in place of the child support. I believe that we have set a legal standard here and it should be sited in other cases where the child is in school but the non custodial parent is still paying child support to the custodial parent.
