Please check with the VA in your area.
As a disabled vet, your loved one will have access to information through his own case manager or advisor I do believe.
Call the VA and ask for an advisor.

They should have social workers who can answer questions for your vet. This is so dependent on so many things (including when, where and how your vet served, and whether in time of war or not) and it isn't something you can afford to take the word of a bunch of strangers on a forum about. You need the best information. That means going to the source.

It might be helpful also to go up to the blue agingcare timeline on this page, the line at the top of the page, and then go to topics and look up "veteran's benefits". Next go to the search magnifying glass and type in "veteran's benefits" and you will see posted a whole bunch of questions about vets. You may be able to get good info from these questions as well.

I sure do wish you best luck.

Jaycee, contact the Maricopa County Counsel on aging and the VA. Both of these can help you with the resources available in Queen Creek.

It will matter if its a service related disability. Did he/she serve during wartime? That could mean getting help thru the VA for Aid and Attendance. Make sure you have his military discharge when you make the call.
