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
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.
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.
