CHAMPVA and Dependents' Education Assistance

[alantleasure]

Hello everyone and a big thank you to everyone on this page for the posts that I have read while going through my process. I am currently rated at 100% schedular. Today I received a letter from the VA in the mail with a rating decision stating that I currently have a total service-connected disability, permanent in nature. I have looked on the VA website for info about the CHAMPVA but it seems very limited in detail. Does anyone have insight on that?

 

Thank you for any reply ahead of time!

The forms to apply are on line. You have  180 days from receipt of the decision, to submit any and all claims your dependants medical care. It goes back to the effective date.

 

As far as CHapter 35, as long as the student is under the age of 23 and is enrolled and has selected a Major, Champ VA will cover them. 

Call them and ask direct questions. Here is a Podcast with ChampVA that may help: https://hadit.com/hadit-podcast-replay-with-glen-johnson/
