Understanding Rate Tables ? - VA Disability Compensation Benefits Claims Research Forum - VA Disability Claims Community Forums - Hadit.comJump to content
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 !
Knowledgeable people who don’t have time to read all posts may skip yours if your need isn’t clear in the title. I don’t read all posts every login and will gravitate towards those I have more info on. Use paragraphs instead of one massive, rambling introduction or story.

How To Post
Post a clear title like
‘Need help preparing PTSD claim’ or “VA med center won’t schedule my surgery” instead of ‘I have a question."
This gives members a starting point to ask clarifying questions like “Can you post the Reasons for Denial of your claim?”
Note:
Your first posts on the board may be delayed before they appear as they are reviewed. The review requirement will usually be removed by the 6th post. However, we reserve the right to keep anyone on moderator preview.
This process allows us to remove spam and other junk posts before hitting the board. We want to keep the focus on VA Claims, and this helps us do that.
You’ve just been rated 100% disabled by the Veterans Affairs. After the excitement of finally having the rating you deserve wears off, you start asking questions. One of the first questions that you might ask is this: It’s a legitimate question – rare is the Veteran that finds themselves sitting on the couch eating bon-bons …Continue reading
