Objee Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 Cavman, That's incredibly great! Let us know when you get the CH. 35 benefits letter. as the CHAMPVA + commissary & exchange privileges will do it all for you!! Ralph DECISION: 50% disability is increased to 70%. Entitlement to individual unemployability is granted. Granted entitlement to 100% rate. Basic elgibility to Dependents` Education Assistance is granted as the evidence shows the veteran currently has total service-connected disability, permanent in nature. Your dependents may be elgible for benefits under CHAMPVA. You may be entitled to Armed Forces Commissary priviledges. No examination will be scheduled in the future. Retro within 15 days. Thank God and thank everyone of you caring people from the very bottom of my heart. Cavman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berta Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 WONDERFUL Cavman- this is great news- Are you getting SSA too- now is the time to apply for SSA and use the VA findings. It doesnt mean the SSA would be easy but if you dont get it now- it would pay to apply for it- SSA disability can be received along with VA comp with no offset- CHAMPVA has a web site and phone number for the form - Chapter 35 is a wonderful benefit for your dependents and I have used it-the VA has paid plenty for my education and I am very grateful for this VA benefit as well as CHAMPVA- this is a great decision with benefits to your whole family. RELAX Now and treat yourselves good when the retro comes! Berta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
