After submitting a NOD, I received notification today that my benefits were changed to P&T with Champva and Chapter 35 entitlements. Everything I read states if your dependents are Tricare eligible, the don't qualify for Champva. I'm scheduled to retire from the Reserves this spring (regular retirement). Ultimately that makes me eligible for Tricare Retired Reserve at $1013.36 per month until age 60. I've had SSDI for the last 18 months. I understand that I'll be automatically enrolled in Medicare part A & B at the 24 month mark. Medicare part B will automatically enroll me into Tricare for Life (service member only from my understanding). Will my dependents qualify for Champva or will that benefit be lost because I have the option of paying for Tricare Retired Reserve? Can I even have two versions of Tricare at the same time? ( Tricare Retired Reserve and Tricare for Life) Thanks! afM -
tdiu SSDI - Medicare or TRICARE
Snake Eyes posted a question in Social Security Disability Questions
I am entering my second year on SSDI after being rated 90% Schedular and 100% P&T TDIU. It is my understanding that after two years, SSA automatically puts disability recipients on Medicare. I am a military retiree, 63 yo soon to go on TRICARE for Life. Here are some questions for anyone who has been in this situation: If Social Security mandates I go on Medicare two years early, do I lose TRICARE? Do I pay TRICARE and MEDICARE premiums at the same time? What becomes of my dependants when I go on Medicare before TRICARE for LIFE kicks in? It seems odd that the SSA would want to bring someone onto Medicare before he or she needs it. True, they have higher premiums than TRICARE and that's money they need... but then again, it's healthcare premiums in a subsidized program, so they'd save money by letting military retirees continue with their TRICARE and/or private insurance until they age into Medicare. -

VETOVET posted a question in VA Disability Compensation Benefits Claims Research Forum
Please, welcome new VET2VET podcast episode: https://youtu.be/9paX1-FyCaI Today we’re talking about SERVICE CONNECTION. When we talk about service-connecting a medical condition, disease, injury or illness to military service, we are talking about proving the relationship between the two. 1) Direct Service Connection 2) Service Connection by Aggravation 3) Presumptive Service Connection 4) Secondary Service Connection 5) Service Connection due to Injury Caused by Treatment in the VA Healthcare System 6) Special Service Connection Rules for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder ★ JOIN US IN OUR COMMITMENT TO YOU AND OUR FELLOW VETERANS ★ ▶ facebook.com/VETOVET2 ▶ itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/vet2vet/id1077206523?mt=2 ▶ twitter.com/VETOVET2 ▶ youtube.com/c/VETOVET2 ▶ plus.google.com/u/0/+VETOVET2 ▶ goo.gl/app/playmusic?ibi=com.google.PlayMusic&isi=691797987&ius=googleplaymusic&link=https://play.google.com/music/m/Iiqawbuzg7eviiyqm6xz7kju62m?t%3DVET2VET ▶ feeds.soundcloud.com/users/soundcloud:users:198832065/sounds.rss ▶ soundcloud.com/vet2vet ▶ stitcher.com/s?fid=80842&refid=stpr ★ LIMITED LIABILITY CLAUSE ★ THE INFORMATION AVAILABLE THROUGH THE VET2VET MAY INCLUDE INACCURACIES OR ERRORS.

tdiu #9 100% P & T
VETOVET posted a question in VA Disability Compensation Benefits Claims Research Forum
Please, welcome new VET2VET podcast episode: https://youtu.be/sTH3p-WwXn0 The way VA defines The word "permanent" slightly differently. For that matter, the word total doesn't mean total when discussing a disability. These are just terms to VA. There really isn't a protected rating. Any rating can be modified by VA at any time, depending on the circumstances. How do you know if your benefit is P & T? What is IU? What is substantially gainful employment? Are there any other eligibility requirements? How is the way VA decides total disability different from other agencies? TDIU awards may be permanent or they may be temporary. If I get a 100% rating, should I continue fighting the VA for benefits? SMC compensation Can you think of any other scenarios were a Veteran might want to keep filing to VA after they reach a 100% rating? ★ JOIN US IN OUR COMMITMENT TO YOU AND OUR FELLOW VETERANS ★ ▶ facebook.com/veterantoveteran/ ▶ itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/vet2vet/id1077206523?mt=2 ▶ twitter.com/veterantovetera/lists/vet2vet ▶ youtube.com/channel/UCebXFpogeJ9r4EqRyxHriYQ ▶ plus.google.com/u/0/+VETOVET2 ▶ goo.gl/app/playmusic?ibi=com.google.PlayMusic&isi=691797987&ius=googleplaymusic&link=https://play.google.com/music/m/Iiqawbuzg7eviiyqm6xz7kju62m?t%3DVET2VET ▶ feeds.soundcloud.com/users/soundcloud:users:198832065/sounds.rss ▶ soundcloud.com/vet2vet ▶ stitcher.com/s?fid=80842&refid=stpr ★ LIMITED LIABILITY CLAUSE ★ THE INFORMATION AVAILABLE THROUGH THE VET2VET MAY INCLUDE INACCURACIES OR ERRORS.
