Can a spouse get veteran benefits after the suicide of a veteran?
Veterans can develop a lot of depression within their minds! Concern about how tomorrow will turn out, how their family is doing, and other stuff. Yeah, all that killing, blood spilling, maybe its too much, more than what they would have thought to experience during their military service. The spouse can submit VA From 21-534 to request service connected disability benefit if the veteran had Post Traumatic Stress symptom!
How do you determine what your veterans disability benefit will be?
The patient vet doesn't make that determination. The VA does that after examining him. They set the value mark, and it will be done in percentages (%). 10% disabled, etc. Actually, benefits are derived based on the character of the veterans discharge. Once a year the Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA) publishes a booklet that describes (generally) all the veterans benefits. If a veteran has an honorable discharge, he/she is eligible for all (should he/she meet the requirments). If he/she has a general discharge, the veteran is not eligible for education benefits (GI Bill). If the Veteran has an "other than honorable" discharge, it is up to the DVA to determine if he/she will be paid for compensation for service connected disabilities and will determine if the other benefits will be paid out as well. If the veteran has a Bad Conduct Discharge (BCD), he/she can be buried in a Veteran Cemetary but isn't eligible for much else. A dishonorable discharge excludes the veteran from all benefits. It is a misconception that if you get less than an honorable discharge that your whole time in the service is characterized by the listed character of discharge. An example would be: Let's say an individual was selling drugs and was given a BCD discharge. It was determined by the evidence he was selling in the last six months of his/her service. If he/she had served three years prior to that, that service is considered honorable. The Veteran needs to apply for benefits for that three year period which is deemed HONORABLE, thus all benefits would apply.
Is it necessary to have Medicare if you already have veterans medical benefits?
Medicare is used by the VA to keep their own medical care expenses down. When a veteran eligible for medicare is under their care, the VA will bill Medicare to help ensure all veterans can be taken care of adequately. If you are eligible for medicare, apply to help the VA maintain high quality medical care for other vets.
