I am 100% + 60 disable.Can my spouse be used as a care giver. If I am qualify, what papers do i have to fill out. Should i go see the VFW to get help since i am a member? Thank you.

Yes. Google VA caregiver program and the form is there. It's a pretty simple one. It's a process though, not just fill out and wait for approval. I'm in the middle of it now, waiting for evaualtion for home and needs.

Currently only post 9/11 veteran's caregivers are allowed in the program that allows them to receive all of the benefits of being paid etc.  The rest of us have to wait, until when well.........Vietnam era and earlier vets were supposed to be implemented June of this year but they have been stalled, surprise surprise and are projected to be hopefully implemented into the program in June of 2020, the rest of veteran's caregivers will be eligible 2 years AFTER those veteran's caregivers have been given access to the caregiver program.   The VA saves a lot of money the longer they wait, so why bother, right?  No one is fighting for pre 9/11 veterans.
