Post 9-11 Vets may get more help starting Monday
Friday, May 06, 2011
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) recently finalized a
program that could provide additional assistance to eligible
post-9/11 veterans who choose to receive their care in a home
setting from a primary Family Caregiver, rather than a hospital or
clinic setting. Veterans may start applying for this new
assistance a few days from now, on Monday, May 9, 2011.
VA programs for Veterans and their Family Caregivers include:
In-Home and Community Based Care, Respite Care, support
groups and Caregiver education and training programs for
Caregivers, including programs for those caring for veterans with
Traumatic Brain Injuries. You can find more information about help
for veterans here.

Applications, which allow veterans to designate a primary Family
Caregiver, can be found here.
Those with questions about the application process should call
toll-free: 1-877-222-VETS (8387).
