VetsLady Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 I so enjoy reading these stories...... There are numerous other benefits that go along with a 100% award such as Chapter 35. Absorb your victory and good job on the SS also ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do I get CHAMPVA or is it just for the wife and kids? I am so happy to live in Texas where I can use my 100% to stop property tax excetra. They take care of vets. I am so happy I did this all myself and thanks to HADIT I did it right!!! BTW- hadit helped me also get SS and LTD quickly with good start dates!! The LTD rep told me that my packet was perfect and made it so easy for her to make a decision!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berta Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 GREAT NEWS. Sorry CHAMPVA is just for the wife and kids. I WISH vets could get it.I have it and it is EXCELLENT and I get the care I want from who I want. For me it is in addition to Medicare as a supplement. The Pharmacy benefit is wonderful so I don't need Medicare Part D. A CHAMPVA recipient must have Medicare Parts A and B when they qualify for Medicare in order to retain CHAMPVA.

81150 CAFB Posted August 3, 2011 Author Share Posted August 3, 2011 I really can't thank the wonderful people on hadit enough. Without them I would never have learned how to do the process correctly. I actually called the DAV in the beginning and the sounded like they had no clue. I am just so happy to have found this site. Also I have two kids that now qualify for DEA chapter 35 for college!!!! What a great benefit. To bad the VA hospital is to far away for me to drive to by myself. I really need to set up an appointment with a benefit counselor. I heard somewhere (this site?) that if you have severe back problems like I do they will pay for a new mattress and I am sure that their are many other little things that I need to find out about for being 100% P&T and IU!!
