Question
Angela
I am raising my nephew and have had custody for more than a year now. Would VA consider him my dependent for purposes of compensation, (and later chapter 35 college benefits) or do I need to formally adopt him?
If I have to adopt to satisfy VA, are there any agencies that can help me? I am just barely making ends meet already and can't afford any more debt.
