Aid And Attendance For My Non-Sc Spouse

[Carl the Engineer]

Ok, I knew this was probably going to get screwed up.

I submitted a claim on 5/22 for A&A for my disabled spouse whom I take care of.

I submitted the appropriate VA form, her SSDI paperwork and letters from two of her doctors.

It moved to "Gathering of Evidence" today and they are requesting "1" thing from me;

"In support of your claim for special monthly compensation, we need medical evidence showing at least one of the following due to service connected conditions: you need the aid and attendance of another person in performing your activities of daily living; are severely visually impaired; are permanently housebound; or have loss (or loss of use) of certain body parts."

It would seem by this request, they are assuming I am asking for A&A for myself, the veteran.

I'm hoping this is just a generic response for A&A.

I'll see what comes in the mail. I have a due date of 7/23, so I have a little time.

They got all of the info on my wife, but maybe this was directed at her??

Oh, well,

I can see in my letters, that I now have the extra $105 with a start of June 1st 2015.  So a couple months of retro, too.

Small change, but it all adds up.

Keep pluggin away, everybody!!!
