ptsd Addtional Benefits

[djweaz]

Now that I am 100% Ive chewed off every one of my finger nails. I feel overwhelmed way overwhelmed. So much stuff people are telling me what I should do for benefits. I am trying to find a neat little list so I can go down the steps it doesnt look like that will happen. I know I can now file for my plates, I know I get fishing and hunting licenses are free (although guns and I do not get along) I know I have to file for addtional insurance (10K) I already have 50 vgli. I know my dependants are eligable for chamva as well as schooling I know I have to go get new id cards for me and my dependants. I have no idea where to go to get these things. I have been told there is an addtional allowance for ptsd people. I know I have to file for ssi. I have been told there is a grant that is either 1000 or 1200 lump some once per year you can get this from july to some month. Are there anything I am missing? Is there more out there that I do not know about? Just so much my anxiety level is tweaked

I would apply for the ChampVA first. You apply for educational benefits when you need them. One thing is that you may be able to get an exemption on your property tax now that you are P&T. You go to deed office and show them your rating for P&T and they take you off the tax rolls. That is a big benefit and saves me around $2000 a year. The ID cards are no big deal. If you live close to military base you can get them there.
