Scaadl Before Caregive Benefits

[JewBacha]

Info provided to me from fellow Vet, was completely unaware.

Special Compensation for Assistance with Activities of Daily Living (SCAADL), authorized by the FY 2010 National Defense Authorization Act, provides monthly compensation for Service members who incur permanent, catastrophic illnesses or injuries in the line of duty that require the services of a home health aide to provide non-medical care, support, and assistance. SCAADL provides up to 90 days of payments after separation from active duty based upon the level of care needed and prevailing rates for home health aides in the geographic area of the Service member's residence.

Now trying to get a qualified or approved VA/DoD doctor to sign the paperwork is a different story. Hope this helps others.
