Caregiver and eligibility of Veteran

[desperatelyseekingsusan]

Hello all!

I haven’t had the need to post here in a long time, but it sure was helpful then. 
 

My husband is 100% PTSD disabled. Now he is diagnosed with a dementia. I read that Vietnam vets are twice as likely to develop dementia, however it is not now on the list of presumptive diseases, as was his prostate cancer…

Multi-infarct, vascular dementia is suspected—MRI pending. He also has obstructive sleep apnea and REM sleep disorder related to the PTSD. All pointing to cause of dementia. 

Can someone tell me about receiving caregiver compensation. He can no longer drive and forgets to do some of his self cares. 
 

I have been to the VA caregiver site, but wonder if this sounds like a situation for eligibility. 
 

Any feedback is appreciated. Thank you.
