Chapter 35 ?

[jfrei]

I still feel like a newbie every time  I come on here . I used to have this OCD problem that I couldn’t be on not on here 24/7 either this or Ebenefots for hours a day because I could do it from my phone whatever this stuff, fluoxetine 10mg even at the low dose my behavior is changing. Im only checking this site once in the. Morning and once at night so now my family gets my full attention. If anyone has any TBI issues with their claims give me a private message.  So my question is am I required to split 45 months between my kids and wife for my chapter 35 benefits or are they able to each get 45 months? I still have 19 months of my Post GiBill but that’s not transferable since I didn’t re-enlist even though I’m 100 P and T? Again I can’t thank you all enough and sorry for me fluiding all the posts everyday with responses...

Each of your dependents is entitled to the full benefits of chapter 35, so far 3 of my children are using their chapter 35 benefits.  My husband has no intention of using his.  Also, check into what your state offers because it is not like the gi bill, it does not pay all of tuition and expenses, etc.  It pays currently a little of $1000 a month which in most places won't cover tuition and books, let alone room/ board etc.  Florida also pays for my children's tuition at any Florida in state public college for 4 years or the equivalent at a private Florida college.   Many states have something similar with rules about having lived there for a period of time or having lived there when received your rating, etc.

I agree with seminoles.

Also with some VAMC (Veterans Administration Medical Center) participating  your spouse can use if they are CITI approved ?(CHAMPVA In House Treatment Initiative (CITI)  

Check with the Hospital Admin or ChampVA Office.  Unfortunately  Dental and Eye clinic's are not approved.

My spouse use to use my VAMC but Since around 2006/07 they stopped the program to veterans spouses  with ChampVA, However she can still see her PCP and get medications...not sure if children are eligible?  ours are all grown and on their own.  

Since more and more wounded veterans are coming home from the Gulf War Iraq, Afghanistan  & other parts of the world  the VAMC are over flowing and most VAMC have stopped this citi program for ChampVA Veterans spouse

If you own your home  go to your county tax office and take your 100% P&T Letter and prof you own the home...you can get a total property tax exemption/ school tax exemption   this is a huge benefit for 100% P&T veterans.

I was told I have to be a resident for three years before they’ll do that I’ve loved her since June 16 2016. Just hoping to grin and bear it 2 more years then it’s 4500 dollars off a year... counting down that alone would stop our struggling that or being approved for SSA at my hearing in December... I’ve never looked into school tax exemption not sure if that applies to Delaware

 Who told you that?

Nope just have to live in the home  1 year prior. you may need to homestead the property?  I had to mine..but some county's/states don't require it.

check with your county tax assessor office.

I did it Delaware says 3 years I ask around again but I tried my mortgage company I also tried and sadly I can’t remember who told me but i looked it up local property tax office in new castle and he said school taxes and property taxes 3 year residency in Delaware if anyone knows any different please give me a hand? And what is homesteading your home I’ve never heard of it...all I know is this my second VA loan the first paid off when sold the home..

 

 Property must be applicant’s primary residence and applicant must have been living in the State of Delaware for a period of 3 years prior to October 1st of the year of application.

Well  not to sound mean  but Delaware sucks for the Veteran property tax exemption , Most states the veteran has to be living in his home 1 year prior,but every state has there on set of rules I guess....3 years is really ridiculous. this benefit is to help the Veteran and his family & waiting 3 years to get this benefit seems a bit selfesh on the county or state part.
