100% pt just got married is my eligible for champva.

Yes.  However, as always check to see if your spouse checks all the boxes.  https://www.benefits.gov/benefit/318

Follow the link and "take the test" to see if she qualifies, then apply.  Champva is the best insurance Im aware of.  

Dont forget about DEA.  Inform VA of your spouse, you should get a rather immediate raise for your spouse.  https://www.va.gov/disability/add-remove-dependent/

Hopefully you have already taken advantage of the 10,000 free life insurance.  If not, do so right away.

Something to remember is that when spouses become eligible for medicare the must also get part B.  Make sure to read requirements.  Devil is in the details.

yes she is eligible.

They should have sent you the application for champVA in your award packet and also educational allowances. IF NOT CALL THE 1-800#  Ask them to send you the ChampVA Application.

100% P&T veterans get additional benefit's ChampVA is one of those benefits. 

being your a newlywed you MAY ALREADY HAVE A HOME OR IN THE PROCESS OF BUYING A NEW HOME ?

YOU can check with your county appraisal office for the property tax exemption   that is a big benefit , helps reduce those high mortgage payments and you don't have to use the PMI. You can shoppe around for less expensive Home Owners Insurance too.

Now that your a 100% P&T Disabled Veteran I recommend you check out all your benefits including your state benefits.and use them to your advantage.

That's what there for.
