P&t Language In Decision Letter

[Mil T]

Hi.

I have a vet that received his decision letter in his claim for IU. He was succesful for getting IU.

It does not say anything about P&T in the body of the letter accept for this one place. Under reasons for decisions

#2 Eligibility to Dependents' Educational Assistance Under 38 USC Chapter 35, the last sentence states: "Basic eligbility to Dependent's Education Assistance is granted as the evidence shows you currently have a total service-connected disability, permanent in nature.

Does this mean that he is actually P&T? Should he use this letter as verification for P&T when he submits for Champva for his spouse and the other benefits for P&T that come with it?

Thanks,

Mil

some states require a letter from the VA for home exemptions for property taxes etc, ID cards from the nearest base etc, but yes that is how they tell a vet that they are now P&T

Mil,

The vet should receive additional paperwork and forms to access additional benefits.

we looked in VA letters in the E-Benefits and a letter saying he is Total and Permanent is there for his use. We are submitting the Champva paperwork along with other forms for benefits befitting a 100%ter that is T&P.
