Hello All! Today I received from ratings of 10% DOD and 70% VA. Due to my percentage from the DOD I do not qualify to keep my Tricare/Base privileges following separation but I was wondering if anyone knew how I could go about finding out if my wife and children qualify for TAMP? My wife is pregnant and due in July, I really do not want our insurance to lapse right before she gives birth. I am signing my ratings tomorrow or monday so would really like some input from someone who has been through it before. Thanks.
