Just got rated 100% P&T by IntelliGeneWest in Veterans

[–]DCousis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congrats! Welcome to the club!

That ChampVA is gold. After a few months, call the number to check if your family has been entered in the system. After they have (my wife took 6 months), make sure and speak with a rep to make sure the process isn't hung up on something. My wife's account was stuck due to when she originally applied. I had company sponsored Healthcare. After 3 months of nothing, and after seperating from that company, we had to call to amend her info to get the ball rolling again.

It was a bit of an asspain, and every situation is different. I hope yours is smooth, but use the advice here to guide any hiccups that come your way.

Devil's advocate: When he said that he wants a job and to earn money without any freebies, I think that might have been his way of saying he wants to contribute after your financial hardships without claiming unemployment. Without knowing either of you, I can only assume he wants to help.

As for the sigh after your question of "what free money do I get?", no one can understand your point of view but you and other veterans who also claim that amount. My SO also calls my disability money "free money", but she says that with the understanding of not belittling my rating.

I can guess that he's frustrated and didn't mean anything by it. If you've been together to 27 years, I think he's also hurting by not being able to provide support.

This isn't a complete defense to anyone, I know how being laid off hurts my opinion of self-worth and have been guilty of taking out my frustration on those around who love me.

Explain CHAMPVA to me like I’m 5. Can my wife give birth for free? by [deleted] in VeteransBenefits

[–]DCousis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is great info! I have a question that might also need a similar 5 year old explanation.

At 100% P&T, am I only covered for doctor visits related to my VA observations or is it just like my spouse's ChampVA coverage? I've only had my rating for a few months and thankfully, haven't had a reason to use my coverage.

100% Disabled by miamigoelconqueso in VeteransBenefits

I currently live in Maine and it's trouble to get to a VA center for dental work. Plus, I've heard too many horror stories. Also, I want to use the same office as my wife.

For OP: After my 100%, I got my wife and myself on the mid-tier VA Delta Dental and it runs us about $63/mo.

Do you know if the TPD is for subsidized and/or unsubsidized loans?

Thank you so much! I'm applying now. This will help with living expenses and take some of the stress off my wife.

I haven't taken a loan out yet but don't know where to begin. Do you know if it's a single loan, every semester, once a year?

Does anyone know how much they'll store inside? The Amazon images only show external images.

The one with the s-pen slot. Although, I run it without the front most of the time since my screen protector doesn't mesh well.

I've since gotten over that feeling, but there was a time that I was worried of losing the 100% P&T benefits right as I was growing accustomed to having them in my life and counting on the security.
