My wife is a BSN/RN. And has been one for more than 45 years. She sees to it that I take my prescribed and OTC medications. She also assists me with just about everything, considering that I am semi-ambulatory. (The V/A has even issued me an electric scooter with a mounting rack for the back of my vehicle. QUESTION: Is my wife eligible to receive compensation from the V/A for assisting and taking care of me?
The Department of Veteran Affairs (VA) Caregiver Support Program (CSP) offers clinical services to caregivers of eligible and covered Veterans enrolled in the VA health care system. As the spouse or dependent child of a Veteran or service member, you may qualify for certain benefits, including health care, life insurance, or money for school. See www.va.gov/family-and-caregiver-benefits/.
Aren't all these programs going to go away soon now that Trump's in charge? Like can you at least give us an update on that? Like how long we have so maybe some of us can make arrangements so not all of us have to. I don't know die starve to death not have medications anymore

What about when the veteran cares for their spouse? Is there a program for that?
Great question! We get this question a lot. I am curious to see the response on this topic!

No way. Trump revamped the VA during his first term and will continue to do so.
