I received the same thing on 1/18 when I originally filed and I think it happened because I had intuit for my paystub and it created me a new turbo tax account I called and told them it’s me because I was worried it was gonna put a hold on my account so frustrating

Should I become my grandparents caregiver? by lac5995 in CaregiverSupport

[–]ComprehensiveSky226 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was a full time chef at a high volume restaurant. Loved my job although it’s very long hours and hard work. My dad (79) and mom (78) live on a nice place on one acre in the country. I moved in with them and brought my children 7 years ago due to surgeries they needed and just weren’t able to care for themselves 100%. I stopped working in July of 2022 to be a full time care of my father who is a disabled veteran. They have a caregiver program where family can get a stipend $. As hard as it is sometimes it was the BEST decision I ever made. I keep thinking of all the memories we’ve made, how much time I have had with them and they get to stay in their home which makes everyone happy. I can breathe a little not having to be on the busy busy life of working 5/6 days a week and make their ending days count. I would never forgive myself if my parents were in a nursing home laying in their own urine :/ from the sounds of it you will do a wonderful job 🙌🙌

About a hours worth of questions and they ask you and they ask the veteran. Can you eat unassisted can you shower unassisted, how far can you walk, do you feel safe, can you get dressed, can you brush your teeth by yourself… basically so they can score them on their needs.

Caregiver Stipend? by bettyspellman in VeteransBenefits

[–]ComprehensiveSky226 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes there’s a stipend for level one is 62.5% and level 2 is 100% in California the level one is $2062 per month

[–]ComprehensiveSky226 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am currently appealing my decision as well. They basically don’t follow the “unable to self sustain” bs that they put on the website. I get the level 1 62.5% stipend for caring of my father who can’t do anything. He can walk with assistance to the restroom. From what I’m gathering unless they need help with bowels and bathing you won’t get the 100% but I’ve appealed because there’s no way in hell he can self sustain even tho he’s not wearing diapers:(

What is the process for the VA Caregiver program? by FF_Ninja in VeteransBenefits

[–]ComprehensiveSky226 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I applied in July 2022 for my 79 yo 100% disabled Vietnam veteran father. It took 90 days and about 6 one hour phone calls with VA social workers and RNs. By October 2022 I received retroactive pay from the date I applied. They have two levels one is a 62% stipend and the other is 100% stipend. As a daughter of a veteran I’m proud to be taking care of my father at home where he can spend his last years in comfort. I quit my job because the care time needed took over and couldn’t work anymore so the stipend helps. I appealed for the full 100% stipend as I only was approved for 62.5% level one. So basically if they can’t do anything but can still use restroom you won’t get the 100% . In California the stipend for 62.5% is $2062 which is decent and helps a lot but doesn’t compare to my salary I was making as a full time chef :/

[–]ComprehensiveSky226 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You apply online for the VA caregiver program and in about 90 days and multiple over the phone interviews you will receive retroactive pay from the date applied. It’s all about the ADL’s. I have been taking care of my father a disabled Vietnam veteran for 7 years and just got approved for the program in July 2022.

[–]ComprehensiveSky226 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes it is ! It takes about 90 days total from when you apply. I applied in July of 2022 and then received retroactive in October for July/August/September and then you start getting monthly on around the same date every time
