I was recently awarded 50% for PTSD and I'm trying to figure out whether I am entittled to anything add'l because my Mother lives with my Wife and I. The chart has a catagory for "Veteran w/ spouse and one parent" and its appears I am entitled to an extra 46.oo but there are no requirements listed for her eligibility. She's elderly, collects SS and has 140K in the bank from the sale of her home. She is not dependent on us for financial help since she collects SS and has money in the bank so I assume I am not entittled to the extra $$. I called the VA and my NSO and I can't get a straight answer. The form for applying is 21-509, Statement of Dependency of Parents and its not very clear. It's not a whole lot of money but it will be when my disability goes to 100%. If anyone knows the criteria, Please let me know. Thanks in advance !
