Important information for disabled veterans and/or their loved ones. The VA Caregiver Support program has now been expanded to include veterans from the Vietnam era forward. It used to be that only those veterans from 9/11 forward qualified. The program can help keep a veteran at home in lieu of having to go to a nursing home. More specific qualifications: Veteran who has a single or combined service connected disability rating of 70% or more, and who is in need of in-person personal care services for a minimum of six (6) continuous months based on either: an inability to perform an activity of daily living each time the activity is performed, or a need for supervision, protection, or instruction, which means a functional impairment that directly impacts his/her ability to maintain his/her personal safety, on a daily basis. The program provides support to caregivers who are family members or other individuals not related to the veteran. The caregiver must reside in the home of the veteran. A monthly payment equivalent to a federal civil service employee rated at GS4 step 1 is provided or approximately $2,600.00 a month. This program goes a long way in keeping veterans at home in lieu of having to leave their loved ones for a place they would rather not be.
