My husband's best friend became ill when he got back from Vietnam his family at time wanted nothing to do with him so I cared for him for 5 yrs we went to dav and filled out forms the va never got back to him can I get benefits from him and can I get reimbursed for funeral home, cremation I get dic already will that be a problem. My husband served and iget benefits from him
I'm a Vietnam veteran's spouse. I won't get benefits until he dies, and I need all sorts of paperwork to set that in motion once he passes away.
If you are uncertain, call the VA.
You might have been able to get paid while you were caring for him.
And if your husband was a Veteran you could have gotten paid to care for him as well.
You get benefits from your husband that is all you are entitled to.
