How to apply
Apply through the VA caregiver support programme. The Caregiver Support Line can talk it through first.
What we screen on
These are the rules the checker actually uses. Every one carries the source it was read from and the date it was read, so you can check us.
We hold no bright-line eligibility rule for this programme yet. That means we will not narrow it, and we will not rule anybody out of it. The agency decides, and the official page below is the place to start.
What we will not tell you
We will not tell you that you qualify for this, because that is the agency's decision and not ours. We screen against the rules above, we show which ones we could check, and we say plainly when a rule exists that we do not hold.
