tdiu How Long Does It Take To Get Family Enroled In Champ Va

[oldman273]

Hello wondering when i get my award letter for TDIU will it be a long process to get my wife and kids enroled into the dependant health care? I know it depends on the award of 100% and if it is P&T but could you give me a timeline of what you all went through? I am familiar with getting IDcards and my Local gaurd unit does the ID cards. Thanks I am hopeful my claim will be over soon. have a good day..

It took my wife about two weeks. Keep in mind that they (CHAMPVA) will pay on your dependents' healthcare costs retroactively back to when you first became eligible for TDIU, in other words, back to your earliest effective date. So, even if it takes a little while to get "enrolled" into CHAMPVA, you'll still get your "payback", so to speak.

Thanks My wife had brain surgery this past year I have been trying on this claim for over 2 years and have kept the original claim alive. I sure would like to be able to tell my wife "Now you can stop worrying" she is worried if something happens to her current job her health care will be gone and she would be without any health insurance. My health is bad hers is better but she worries way more than I do about her not getting care. Thanks I also PM you this evening when you get a chance sure would like your thoughts. i have paid out a lot on both her and my own health care as we know the system is slow to catch up to what my out of pocket money spent on my sc problems. have a good day...

It took me 15 days from the day I sent my application via fax with marriage certificate and a copy of award letter, until I received my card in the mail. ChampVA is surprisingly efficient for some with the letters VA in it! LOL!

Champ VA is completely different than other VA departments.

They are on the ball and want to provide top notch service.

There was no CHAMPVA documents with my rating packet, though the letter said my dependents are eligible. Where do I find the application / information? Anyone have a link handy?

Thanks!!
